Five Scents, Five Rooms

The five candles are numbered, not ranked. Each one was chosen for a different hour of the day, and for the room that hour is usually spent in. These are suggestions, not rules.

Nº 01 Sapin, fresh balsam, belongs by the door in winter: the first thing a guest meets, and the last thing you notice before going out into the cold.

Nº 02 Vanille, vanilla bean, is for the bedroom and the last hour of the evening, when the lamps are low and nothing else needs doing.

Nº 03 Épice, comfort spice, is a living-room candle for cold nights, at its best with a blanket, a book and the curtains drawn.

Nº 04 Rivage, sea breeze, suits the bathroom or the kitchen in the morning: clean and bright, like a window opened onto the coast.

Nº 05 Jardin, eucalyptus, lavender and herb, sits well on a desk or beside a reading chair. Green and calm, for the hours that need a clear head.
