At a time when virtually anyone can start a business (or, to be more accurate, a start-up), it is a good thing to see that France and its people also know how to revive and maintain our savoir-faire in traditional industries. And this is exactly what Claire & Marie Mouret are doing with Adonis Candles Paris.
Obviously named after the legend of Adonis, the very handsome young man who was at the center of a battle between Aphrodite and Persephone, Adonis Candles Paris’ collection is built around the most popular goddesses, for a unique olfactory interpretation of each and every one of them: Aphrodite, Athena, Gaïe, Hera, Hestia, Séléné and Themis.
From the quality of raw materials to the delicacy of associations, from the selection of wax to the choice of the wick, the Adonis candles are made by the best French craftsmen to design a clever balance between the perfume, the wax and the wick. Each creation is the expression of a true luxury craft, individually handmade.
The unique blend of high quality mineral waxes allows raw materials to express themselves fully, as each reacts differently to heat; the adjustment of the wick, cut to 4 mm, allows each candle to burn properly from beginning to end. The glass is preheated to avoid the appearance of wax streaks, before filling between 60 and 70°C.
The elegant Adonis Candles Paris candles are poured into a lacquered glass, for an intense color that remains translucent, allowing the goddesses legs that ornate each candle to “dance” while the candles are burning. So nice !
