unscented candles

An unscented candle gives light without competing with the aroma of a dish or a bouquet: it is the candle for your table and for everyday evenings. The collection brings together freestanding candles, from the smallest size to the largest, slim candles for candlesticks, and votive candles.

The flame, without the fragrance

A candle's fragrance mingles with the aroma of the meal and muddles both. A neutral flame leaves center stage to the food and never tires the nose as the evening goes on. It is also the right choice for a bedroom, where a lingering fragrance quickly becomes overpowering.

Freestanding, for candlesticks, or votive

A freestanding candle stands on its own on a tray and gives a low, broad light, like the Antik and Stripes models. A candlestick candle is slim and tall: it needs a candle holder to match. A votive slips into a glass or a hurricane lantern, and its height is chosen to suit the container, from a discreet flame to a long stem.

Heights to combine

Freestanding candles come in every size from the smallest to the largest, so you can group three heights on a tray rather than one candle on its own. Stick to a single family for a cohesive look, Antik or Stripes, and vary the size. Boxed sets of small sizes come in handy when you have many guests.

Frequently asked questions

Which candle for a candlestick?

A slim, tall candle designed for this purpose: the Rustic and Stripes models say so in their name. Check the diameter of the candle holder's opening before choosing.

How can I limit dripping?

Keep the candle away from drafts, which make the flame lean and hollow out the wax on one side only. Trim the wick short before each lighting, and set the candle perfectly upright.

What should I set a candle on?

On a flat, stable surface that can withstand heat, such as a small dish or a wide plate. Keep it well away from curtains, lampshades, or foliage.
