A citrus-and-fig soy candle opening on lemon and coconut, moving through Tuscan fig to a dry base of vetiver, amber, and santal. By Maison Louis Marie.

The Maison Louis Marie No.13 Nouvelle Vague Candle opens with lemon, muguet, and coconut before moving into a heart of Tuscan fig and agave. Vetiver, amber, and santal form the base, providing a dry, woody foundation that tempers the sweetness of the fig and keeps the fragrance from reading as tropical. The dry base holds the composition grounded across the burn.

60-hour burn, hand-poured in California

An 8.5 oz soy-blend wax with a cotton wick delivers up to 60 hours of even burn. The base notes — vetiver, amber, and santal — hold through the burn's final third, maintaining the dry character as the citrus top notes fade.
