Candle of the month

Fleur de Tiaré

A garden in the tropics, just after dark. White petals heavy with the day's heat, salt drifting in from the lagoon. The hour when the air slows and the perfume comes forward.

III · The notes

Notes are places.

What you smell is the place itself. Lemon leaf bruised between your fingers. Warmed stone in the sun. The salt drift of a wind off the sea. Each note is a real thing, and each thing is part of a place we keep.

Foreword

On a kind of place.

We make candles, but the candle is not the point. The story of a place is the point.

We believe an object is worth keeping when it carries something — a place, a sentence, a memory said quietly. The candles we make are the way we keep ours, and a way to share the keeping with you.

a kind of place n. · plural: kinds of place

  1. A specific place — real or remembered — that stays with you long after you have left it.
  2. The light through a window. The hour just before dinner. A hillside in late July.
  3. The kind worth telling about, in a single line.

What we put in.

From a rapeseed field, and a coconut tree.

Rapeseed & coconut

Two plants, slow to burn, clean to the last hour.

Pressed from the rapeseed field and the coconut tree. A blend that holds its shape, releases scent gently, and reaches the bottom of the jar without surrender.

COMPOSITION60 / 40rapeseed · coconut
BURN TIME≈ 50 hat 4 mm wick
PLANT BASED100 %no paraffin
From the orchard.

Wooden wick

Quiet, with a soft crackle as it goes.

A single piece of fruitwood. Burns evenly, makes a small sound, no soot. Trimmed once, then forgotten.

Considered fragrance

Composed for the place, not for the room.

Each scent is built around a memory of a specific place — written down before any oil is opened. No synthetic dyes. No fillers.

Hand-poured glass

Made to be kept, not thrown.

A heavy glass jar that holds 220g and outlives the candle. Wash it, refill it, or use it for what comes next.

VI · The journal

Notes from the places

Short essays and longer ones. Almost always about somewhere specific. Updated slowly.

Letter · February

On a hillside in late July

What it means to write a place from memory, half from invention, and call it true.

Notes · Atelier

What we leave out of the jar

On rapeseed, coconut, the wood of a wick, and the small choices behind a single candle.

Reading · Place

Rooms that come back to you

Why some places stay with us, and why scent is often the way back.

Stay close

The occasional letter.

Leave an address and receive a note when there is something worth reading. Usually once or twice a month. No urgency, no offer, nothing to sell.
