A limited-edition soy candle moving from applewood and citron through clove and birch to a dry base of oakmoss, sandalwood, and cedarwood. By Maison Louis Marie.

The Maison Louis Marie Le Refuge d'Ernest Candle opens with applewood, amber, and citron, followed by a heart of clove leaf, canella bark, and white birch. Oakmoss, sandalwood, and cedarwood form the base, producing a dry, woody finish with a resinous character that deepens as the top notes fade. The fragrance follows a clear three-stage arc, from bright fruit through spice to dry wood, across the burn.

60-hour burn, limited edition, free from parabens, sulfates, and phthalates

An 8.5 oz soy-blend wax with a cotton wick delivers up to 60 hours of even burn, hand-poured in California. Released as a limited edition, the formula is free from parabens, sulfates, and phthalates, with the wood base holding through the full burn rather than letting the citrus top notes dominate.
