No.04 Bois de Balincourt Candle

A soy-wax blend candle we discovered in a mother-in-law’s guest suite. 

The Bois de Balincourt scent is inspired by the brand founders’ family home, nestled deep within an ancient forest. Along a trail they call Lover’s Lane, generations wandered under towering trees, surrounded by stillness and memory. This signature scent layers creamy sandalwood and cedar with warming cinnamon and nutmeg, anchored by earthy vetiver—a romantic, comforting fragrance with effortless depth. 

Scent Notes: 

• Top Notes: Sandalwood, Cedarwood
• Middle Notes: Vetiver, Nutmeg, Cinnamon
• Base Notes: Amber Wood

How to Use: 

• For the first burn, allow the candle to melt evenly to the edges (approximately 2 hours) to help prevent tunneling.
• Before each use, trim the wick to ¼ inch using the brand’s Candle Wick Trimmer to minimize soot and maintain a clean, even flame.
• Burn for no more than 3 hours at a time and keep the wax pool free of debris.
