I truly love Autumn... For me, it's the season of change and a preparation for the challenges of the new year before the crazy period of festivities. As William Cullen Bryant said, "Autumn, the year's last loveliest smile". A time for reflection where the bursting colours of the fallen leaves make me appreciate the beauty of this world. The fresh air, the humid and earthy smell and the cozy nights at home really inspire me to do more things like cooking or writing and the best way to stimulate me in this creative process is to be surrounded by an olfactory atmosphere.
Byredo Bibliothèque
This candle transports me to an old and beautiful library.
When I was a student in Paris I used to go to the Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève. When I first entered, I was amazed, I felt like I was in a Harry Potter film. The darkness, the silence and its particular smell, a blend of humidity, dust, wood, paper, leather and wax for furniture.
I always studied in this library or Cujas that it's on the same Pantheon Square, it was one of the loveliest moments of my life, the period when I met the man of my life, my actual boyfriend.
Byredo has make me travel in time with this candle. I always feel very nostalgic when it's burning, not in a sad way but in a very comforting manner.
Presented in an elegant and graphic design the notes of peach, plum, peony, violet, leather, patchouli and vanilla of this candle create an unexpected fragrance, complex and intellectual.
Diptyque Noisetier
I'm obsessed with Diptyque candles and I cannot lie. In fact, if one day my house transforms into the display of one of Diptyque's shops that will be the happiest day of my life!
For this time of the year I personally love Coing and Noisetier and if I have to choose between one of them it will be without no doubt Noisetier. I don't know why but, this fragrance takes me back to my childhood, maybe because of the countless Nutella toasts that I had after school. Yummy!
This scented candle is the sweet version of Autumn. The seasonal hazel is paired with more woody and earthy notes revealing the most beautiful fragrance that makes me think of cozy nights at home baking and wearing big jumpers and socks while it's starting to get chilly. You can feel the scent of earth and dead leaves that comes from the outside. A delightful tangy, sweet, woody and bitter scent.
30 Avenue Montaigne, Christian Dior
This home candle represents the most sophisticated side of Paris, the Avenue Montaigne. A tribute to the iconic first address of this fashion institution. Adorned in the Neoclassical Louis VI style, cherished by Monsieur Dior, this townhouse was the perfect setting to present his creations and the revolutionary "New Look" style in the late 40's of the past century.
I received this candle as a gift and the first time that I smelled it I found that it was quite masculine and strong, but when I lit it, I felt that it was the most elegant luxurious fragrance that I have ever sniffed. It's a very intense combination with notes of cardamom, star anise, licorice, white amber, vanilla and incense. A warm, enveloping and spicy scent for the colder evenings of Autumn.
