Apothecary Notes
Amber has fascinated civilisations for thousands of years. This fossilised resin, formed from the sap of prehistoric trees, was already being used over 5,000 years ago to create jewellery, precious objects and decorative ornaments. Traded throughout Europe and the Mediterranean along the famous Amber Routes, it was regarded as a rare and highly valuable material.
In traditional apothecary shops, aromatic resins and fragrant materials were among the most sought-after ingredients. Stored in tinted glass vessels to preserve their olfactory qualities, they were used to create refined scented preparations and blends designed to perfume interiors.
In perfumery, the term “amber” does not directly refer to the fossilised amber used in jewellery but rather to an olfactory accord inspired by its warmth and richness. Perfumers traditionally recreate this sensation using aromatic resins, vanilla, balsams and woody notes to produce a fragrance that is warm, enveloping and elegant.
Over the centuries, amber accords have become one of perfumery’s most beloved signatures, both in personal fragrances and home scents. Their comforting and timeless character continues to captivate lovers of sophisticated fragrances today.
The Symbolism of Amber in Perfumery Traditions
Amber traditionally symbolises warmth, serenity and protection. Its golden hue evokes the gentle glow of candlelight, treasured memories and the comfort of home.
In perfumery, amber notes are often associated with timeless elegance, inner harmony and moments of calm reflection. They create a reassuring atmosphere that encourages you to slow down and savour the present moment.

How to Use

Trim the wick regularly to approximately 5mm before each use.
Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Always place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
Handcrafted Production
The candles in the Apothecary Collection are entirely handmade in Provence. Minor surface imperfections such as micro-cracks, tiny air bubbles, slight frosting or wax shrinkage may occur due to temperature variations. The wax may also lightly perspire in very warm conditions.
These characteristics are completely natural and reflect the use of premium vegetable soy wax rather than paraffin. They do not affect the candle’s performance or fragrance diffusion.
Premium Fragrances
The fragrances used in the Amber Scented Candle are sourced in France, including some from Grasse, the world capital of perfumery. They comply with IFRA (International Fragrance Association) standards and are guaranteed free from CMR substances and phthalates.
Each fragrance is carefully selected for its quality, diffusion and olfactory balance, faithfully recreating the richness of traditional amber accords.
