Reviews

The CK One of Candles

"This is the most beautiful scent profile of leather and wood, in such a non-gender specific way. It is elegant without being feminine, and structured without being masculine. My husband loves it as much as I do. If you need a scent that pleases both partners, this is the one."

— Kelli S. (5/5)

Cozy!

"We love any type of Feu de Bois, including Diptyque. I searhc for them for my husband and try them out. I really appreciate the smoky but complex scent of the Lafco candle. It has some woodsy scent and not just smoke, though we enjoy a good fireplace scent."

— Ellen K. (5/5)

Feu de Bois is a must have in any LAFCO collection

"The 15. 5-ounce Feu de Bois is the perfect size—substantial enough to feel luxurious and give a beautiful scent throw, without being overwhelming. The handblown vessel is absolutely gorgeous, and the scent itself is stellar: warm woods, sandalwood, pine, smoky notes, frankincense and amber come together in a rich, sophisticated fragrance that makes the whole room feel warm and inviting."

— Angela C. (5/5)

"Great sexy scent warm for the cooling off months"

No Throw

"It’s a beautiful candle, but you can’t smell it unless you’re standing over it. Disappointing."

— Laura K. (1/5)

"This continues to be my favorite scent. It smells like a campfire and is perfect for fall / winter."

"Easily our most favorite candle. Very "home-y" and fills our house with a pleasant but not overpowering scent."

— Via F. (5/5)

Favorite

"Favorite scent from Lafco. This candle is so special, I love it at very meaningful times, it brings an extra level of attention and beauty."

— Tara T. (5/5)

Underwicked/Poor Burn

"Fragrance is wonderful, vessel is nice. The signature size is underwicked, so it doesn’t burn properly to the edges without using tin foil around it. For $80, you should not have to babysit and use tricks to get a proper burn. This needs fixed."

— Bree (3/5)

Q&A

Feu de Bois Candle

Transport yourself to the comforting calm of a mountain chalet with the Feu de Bois Candle, a signature LAFCO fragrance inspired by the warmth and quiet luxury of a wood-burning fire. More than a scent, it’s an atmosphere. Deep, smoky, and refined, the Feu de Bois candle invites a sense of grounding serenity into your space, wrapping it in the familiar embrace of flickering flames and aged wood.

Crafted with LAFCO’s signature essential oil-based formula, this candle blends rich sandalwood, smoky leather accord, and resinous frankincense for a fragrance that’s both powerful and elegantly composed. Hints of Virginia cedarwood and pine add brightness, while a subtle nuance of vanilla rounds out the composition with a creamy smoothness. Every note of this Feu de Bois candle is layered with intention, designed to evoke the scent of decades of burned wood resins accumulating over time in a cozy ski house retreat.

Housed in an artisan glass vessel, every Feu de Bois Candle is a piece of functional art. The vessel’s subtle color and clean lines make it a striking accent in any space, from rustic lodge-inspired interiors to modern minimalist homes. And once the candle has finished burning, the glass can be repurposed as a stylish container or decorative object, continuing its role in your home long after the last flame has flickered out.

Part of LAFCO’s House & Home® collection, this scent was designed specifically with the ambiance of a ski house in mind—but its rich, woody profile makes it a favorite year-round. It also pairs seamlessly with other Feu de Bois products, including the reed diffuser, room mist, and bar soap, allowing you to layer the fragrance and enjoy its grounding warmth throughout your home and routine.

Whether you’re gifting it or lighting it for your own enjoyment, the Feu de Bois Candle is an invitation to pause, breathe deeply, and enjoy the moment. It’s a luxury candle that feels timeless, tranquil, and distinctly LAFCO.
