Chapeau! Candle

Chapeau! Collection

Legàmi

The special edition Legàmi Chapeau! is a multisensory experience encompassing tactile, visual, and olfactory elements. Concealed within the Art Deco sculptural form are two candles. The cap, crafted from porcelain, is a 330-gram one-wick candle, resplendent in golden and burgundy, diffusing notes of Zafferano. The bottom part of the bottle is a second 1600-gram five-wick candle scented in notes of Luce di Rosa and features a custom pattern by Laboratorio Paravicini designed specifically for the Maison. Inspired by their Legàmi collection, the motif of intertwining lines comes in shades of burgundy and gold. The custom Legàmi pattern is manually decorated on each of the special edition Chapeau! candle by the young artisans of La Scuola Cova.
Crafted with the utmost care, the base of the piece starts as a 'biscuit' - a term denoting the initial, unglazed porcelain that, once shaped and oven-set, is sanded to smoothness in a meticulous process that 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 hues, 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.
The Legàmi pattern also features on the outer packaging where the dual-colour flowing pattern contrasts elegantly against the black base.

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.
