Discover Absinthe Candle, inspirated by the National History Museum.
This establishment is the metamorphosis of an older “utopian garden”, the Royal Garden of Medicinal Plants, which already provided knowledge to the scientists who administered it, and which had been created in the 17th century on the land of Alez where, in the 16th century, the philanthropic apothecary Nicolas Houël gave courses in herbalism. On this site, the tradition of teaching natural history therefore dates back almost five centuries.

PERFUME

An aromatic, green fragrance The scent is powerful, green, plantlike. Green notes of galbanum and petitgrain mix with the aniseed scent of the absinthe absolute, supported by basil and mint. A woody base note weaves through the wake of this scented, green bouquet. Colored illustrations from botanical plates dating from the 19th Century appear through the matte glass, greige tinted. In the center of the octagonal label, we find a cluster of Absinthe’s flowers printed in gold embossing

Addictive scent and beautifully decorated

I usually dislike the scent or taste of aniseed, but the sample of the Natural History Museum candle I received for an online masterclass changed my mind. This particular mix of herbs and woods is quite complex, and not something I’ve come across before. Whilst the Absinthe candle has a moderate projection, I don’t become anosmic to it, nor annoyed as I do with some candles. I would describe it as vegetal, woody and marine. I have two on the deck dining table and guests always ask where to get them.

Absolutely recommended.
