Treat your senses to the rich, enveloping Initial scented candle from Estéban, inspired by ochre earth and shea butter. It holds 180g of premium wax and gives off a smooth, warm fragrance that recalls sun-drenched lands, filling the room with an intimate, cozy atmosphere for quiet evenings and moments of rest.

The scent opens with cardamom and pink peppercorns. At its heart, a creamy shea butter and benzoin accord adds a soft, velvety richness. Vanilla, milky sandalwood and musk follow, leaving a warm, sensual trail.

Poured in Estéban’s workshops in France, the candle is made from 100% vegetable wax, mostly GMO-free European rapeseed with no palm oil, and burns on a pure cotton wick. It scents your space even when it isn’t lit. With sustainable living in mind, the container is designed to be refilled, bringing a touch of untamed nature into your home.
