Light with a scent

Of all our senses, the sense of smell is most closely linked to our memories, emotions and moods. A scented candle therefore invariably provides that extra emotion in this time when we attach great importance to cozy light.

Ecological
Candles with wooden wicks for a cozy crackle and a lively flame, coupled with longer burning hours? That’s Oscar Candles, Belgian Made candles with a twist and very ecological. For example, the rabbit fur of this candle comes from offal and the wax is also based on vegetable ingredients. The fragrance, in turn, is very complex with a top of juicy plum, pomegranate and fresh roses that perfectly complement the heart of patchouli, cedar wood, violet leaf and spices, all of which settle on a musky base of amber, vanilla and leather.

The candles are also refillable. You can hand them in at the flagship store at 115 Dumortierlaan in Knokke or buy a refill via www.oscarcandles.com
