Frederic Malle

Bois de Santal Candle

Frederic Malle Bois de Santal Candle is a woody candle. One day, as a child, Frédéric Malle found himself standing in the entrance of a Parisian apartment before a great sandalwood statue of Buddha. Its scent had spread throughout the apartment and had cast its spell; young Malle was captivated. Thereafter, the memory troubled him, until he requested it be realized as a candle fragrance; only then could he finally travel again, all the way to India and back, from his living room. Every detail of Bois de Santal Candle is carefully thought out: the atmosphere created by the light and the magical diffusion of the perfume combine to create a playful everyday surrealism. The candle has a fascinating relationship to time: unlike the perfume that reveale itself with use and grows deeper, it slowly grows to gradually spread throughout your home.
