Le Refuge d'Ernest Candle
Le Refuge d’Ernest is our winter seasonal candle scent inspired by a quiet cabin nestled in the Swiss Alps. It pays tribute to Marie’s great-great-great grandfather, Ernest Solvay — a Belgian scientist and mountaineer who commissioned a solitary alpine shelter near the peak of the Matterhorn in 1915, designed to protect climbers from sudden storms. This scent captures that moment of pause before ascent: the comfort of crackling wood, smoky cedar, and resinous warmth as you gather by the fire, surrounded by stillness and snow. A grounding ritual of safety, strength, and solitude.
- Top Notes: Applewood, Amber, Citron
- Middle Notes: Clove Leaf, Canella Bark, White Birch
- Base Notes: Oakmoss, Sandalwood, Cedarwood
- For an even burn, let your candle melt fully to the edges the first time — about 2 hours. Before each use, trim the wick to ¼ inch to help prevent black smoke and soot. For best results, avoid burning longer than 3 hours at a time and keep the wax pool free of debris. Never leave your candle unattended.
