OPPOSITES, BUT MATCHED
A peony and suede have nothing in common. One is as diaphanous as summer out in the open, the other is an armchair in a study with heavy curtains. Put face to face, they ought to produce a disaster. But Altaïr defies expectation. The peony stays floral, clear, almost cool, while the suede catches it underneath and holds it there, warm and matte. Above them, a touch of agarwood; below, sandalwood, cedar and styrax, making the connection as though it had been one idea from the start. Émilie Bouge says that Altaïr evokes the symbolism of wood and earth with the finesse of a flower. That's roughly what happens. The flame brings them out in turn rather than all at once: first the flower, then the wood. And the amber glass, Parisian with oriental leanings, holds the light inside and returns it warm to the room. Things this different rarely get along this well.

USEFUL ADVICE
In order to get the most out of your candle, burn it until the entire surface of the candle melts. When burned simultaneously, leave at least 30 cm between each candle. Do not leave a candle burning unattended. Do not set in a draft. Keep away from children, curtains, and pets. Should the wick require centering, gently readjust to correct position when the wax is still molten. Allow the candle to solidify before relighting. Should any black smoke appear, trim the tip of the wick. It should be clean and no longer than 5mm at all times. Always protect the table or surface on which the candle rests (with a wood or ceramic plate, for example). To protect the glass, always ensure that 0.5 centimeters of unmelted wax remain for Classic-sized candles. L’Intermède and La Grande Bougie are equipped with wick-stoppers and will automatically extinguish once they become visible (always leave at least 3 cm of non-molten wax at the bottom)
