LAFCO votive

"Perfect size for a smaller room."

— cATHY m. (5/5)

SO GLAD I TRIED THIS SCENT

"I wasn't sure about how I'd feel about this scent, as it was quite different from my usual go-to scent profiles. I so appreciate that there was a smaller version to try, that even came in a beautiful useful vessel. I LOVE it! It smells like Welcome Home, Come Inside, we're glad you're here!!! ". I will absolutely be buying the larger candles and a diffuser. Thank you LAFCO for so many ways to try your scents and see what delights us."

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.
