Why we pour in three layers
Base, heart and top go in a day apart. It takes longer, and it changes everything about how the scent unfolds.
Three passes, one day apart
Most candles are poured in a single go: wax and oil mixed, poured, done. We split each candle into three pours. The base goes in first and sets overnight, then the heart, then the top.
Because each layer carries different notes, the scent changes as the candle burns down: brighter at the start, deeper by the last third.
What it costs
Three days on the bench instead of one, and a lot of patience. We think the last ten hours of a candle should be as good as the first.
