Chapeau! Candle

Chapeau! Collection

mirto di panarea

Concealed within the Art Deco sculptural form are two candles. The cap, crafted from glazed stoneware, is a 330-gram one-wick candle, rich in the colorblue . The handcrafted ceramic bottom part of the bottle is a second 1600-gram four-wick candle, maintaining the pure and crisp design of its signature shape with an even and expansive illumination. This interplay of textures and finishes not only highlights the technical prowess involved but also adds a layer of visual and tactile intrigue. Crafted with the utmost care, the base of the piece starts as a 'biscuit' - a term denoting the initial, unglazed ceramic that, once shaped and oven-set, is sanded to smoothness in a meticulous process that takes up to 30 minutes yet retains a raw, tactile quality. The result is a unique matte surface with a nuanced feel. This contrasts beautifully with the lid, which is first glazed, and then put in the oven. To ensure the vibrancy of the blue hue, another layer of glaze is applied before the piece is fired again, resulting in a glossy, refined finish that complements the base's earthiness. The tactile, hand embossed plaque on each candle is a modern reinterpretation of the iconic Acqua di Parma label. The manual finishing of the cap and the hand poured wax merges the precision of modern production with the nuanced finesse of handcraftsmanship. Mirto di Panarea embodies the aromatic warmth of myrtle combined with basil and sparkling citrus accents of lemon and Calabrian bergamot. Sea breeze accents and fresh juniper notes meet jasmine and rose, bringing a feeling of calm and harmony.

To ensure the best experience from your scented candle, Acqua di Parma recommends:

- Do not burn each candle for more than 1,5 hours at a time. This will prevent the flame from becoming too high, which creates smoke and could stain the sides of the jars.
- Use an Acqua di Parma snuffer to extinguish the flame.
- Allow the candle to solidify before relighting it.
- Restraighten the wick in the wax after each use for consistent consumption of the wax.
- Regularly cut the wick with an Acqua di Parma wick trimmer (ideal length 5 mm for 330g candle and 10mm for 1600g candle) so that the wick does not stick to the wax and prevents the candle from emitting smoke.
- Keep the wax pool clear of matches and debris.
- Do not use the candle if the remaining wax level in the vase is less than 5 mm.
- Do not leave the burning candle unattended. Keep away from children, curtains, and pets.
- Do not move a burning candle or when the wax is still hot. Wait for the wax to solidify.
- Ensure that the wax of both candles is fully solidified before placing the candle-cap back on the candle-base.
- Do not place the candle on heat-sensitive surfaces, near flammable materials, an open window, or other candles.
