Fougère Botanical Candle

Botanical candle composed of natural coconut wax infused with pure botanical extracts. Fougere was one of Barratt Riley's very first formulations, a carefully crafted recipe made from more than ten different botanicals. It was once a hidden gem, simply a botanical mist and body oil, both cherished for their unique and clarifying essence. But when formulated as a candle, the makers were instantly captivated. Its scent journey begins with top notes of ravensara and lemon. Ravensara brings a fresh, almost medicinal clarity, offering an uplifting and healing quality to the air. The lemon adds a bright, zesty burst, cutting through the atmosphere like sunlight filtering through the trees, infusing the space with an energizing, citrusy vibrance. As the fragrance settles, heart notes of geranium, lavender, and patchouli emerge. The geranium adds a soft, floral sweetness that feels light and airy, while lavender brings a calming, herbal touch that gently soothes the senses. Patchouli, with its earthy, slightly spicy scent, deepens the experience, creating a grounding effect that lingers in the background. Finally, base notes of clove and cedarwood complete the fragrance. A hint of spice adds a rich complexity, evoking a sense of mystery and warmth. Cedarwood brings depth and strength — its woody, resinous aroma offering a solid foundation to the fragrance, grounding the blend in a soothing and comforting embrace. Together, these notes create a harmonious blend that is both energizing and calming, with a timeless quality that continues to enchant and inspire.
