Rich, complex, and undeniably captivating, the Labdanum Candle offers an aromatic escape into the heart of an ancient forest. This is not your typical scented candle. It’s a study in contrast and harmony, where earthy warmth meets a refined, resinous depth. At the core of its allure lies a carefully layered blend of labdanum absolute, creamy vanilla, and the unmistakable richness of patchouli. It’s a patchouli candle reimagined for the modern luxury home.
The scent opens with the opulence of labdanum, a rare resin derived from the rockrose shrub in Spain. Described by early perfumers as “the sweetest-scented of all substances,” labdanum brings multifaceted notes of leather, oak, moss, and amber fossil to the fragrance. As the candle burns, the scent deepens, evolving with the spicy, earthy nuance of patchouli and the gentle sweetness of vanilla. This trio creates a grounded yet sensual atmosphere that’s as comforting as it is complex.
Whether you’re lighting it in a cozy study, a moody living room, or a serene bedroom, this amber candle transforms any space into a sanctuary of scent. Its depth and warmth evoke quiet luxury. This makes it perfect for evenings at home, moments of meditation, or as a signature scent that greets guests with sophistication. This is a fragrance that doesn’t just fill the room. It lingers, leaves an impression, and invites you to slow down.
Hand-poured in the USA, the Labdanum Candle is made with LAFCO’s signature clean-burning soy wax blend and features a 100% cotton wick for a smooth, even burn.
