Bois de Santal

Frédéric Malle remembers a day in his childhood when he was transported by the smell of a giant statue of Buddha in Indian sandalwood that reigned over the entrance of a Parisian apartment. Unable to dissolve the memory, he and Carlos Benaïm have made a candle of the exotic wood that will transport you, as he himself was, to the other side of the world. Like all of our candles, the scent of Bois de Santal pervades and enriches the atmosphere of your home without stifling it. Two worlds come together: the candle, both a decorative object and an invisible, fluid presence moving through a room, melts into the fabric of your domestic space.
