Description

My favorite quote from Ferris Bueller's Day off is one that I have tried to remember throughout life... "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."

You have to take time to find the moments in life when the world seems to pause - some of my most favorite memories aren't that far in the distance, and inspired this very fragrance.

Moments when sunlight spilled over the rooftops of Montmartre, painting the cobblestones gold and illuminating the grand silhouette of Sacré-Cœur. Some of my favorite mornings spent in a sunlit apartment, windows thrown open to the April Parisian breeze, watching the city streets awaken below. 

Soleil à Montmartre is my tribute to those golden days: a fragrance that captures the radiance, romance, and quiet joy of Paris at dawn, with an ode to a lovely cocktail enjoyed at a sweet Cafe just steps from Sacré-Cœur. This fragrance blends the brightness of lemon and orange zest with the richness of cognac and cherry liqueur, softened by the creamy sweetness of orgeat and a whisper of clove. Hints of musk and sandalwood make their way through the scent, just as the various colognes and perfumes of the crowds below made their way up to our temporary apartment. It’s a scent that invites you to linger, to savor, and to dream.

Light this candle and let it transport you to a window facing Sacré-Cœur, where the sunlight dances and every moment feels touched by magic. To complete your sensory journey, I invite you to craft a cocktail inspired by my memories (and cocktails enjoyed) there—a drink as smooth and balanced as the fragrance itself.

Soleil à Montmartre Cocktail Recipe

  • 1.5 oz Cognac

  • 0.5 oz Cherry liqueur

  • 0.5 oz Orgeat syrup 

  • 0.5 oz Fresh lemon juice

  • 0.5 oz Fresh orange juice

  • 0.25 oz Violet syrup 

  • 2 Black cherries in syrup (muddled)

  • Garnish: Caramelized orange slice and/or a clove-skewered cherry

Muddle black cherries in syrup in a shaker. Add Cognac, cherry liqueur, orgeat, lemon and orange juice, and violet syrup. Shake with ice and double strain into a chilled glass. Garnish with caramelized orange and/or clove-skewered cherry. (To Caramelize the Orange, Dip in Sugar and use a culinary torch, as you would with a delicious Creme Brulee!)

Directions

CANDLES: For best results and safety, always trim your wood wick to about 1/8–1/4 inch before each use, removing any charred wood from previous burns. Burn your candle for 3–4 hours at a time, allowing the wax to melt completely to the edges of the vessel—this helps prevent tunneling and ensures an even, long-lasting burn. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it away from drafts, children, and pets. Always allow the candle to cool completely before relighting or moving it. Discontinue use when approximately 1/4 inch of wax remains in the vessel. Enjoy the signature crackle and fragrance of your wood wick candle safely and beautifully.

MELTS:
For safe and enjoyable use of your wax melts, place one or two wax melt pieces in the dish of a wax melter specifically designed for wax melts—either an electric warmer or a ceramic burner with an unscented tealight below. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your melter, and never add water to the wax. Burn your wax melts for up to 3–4 hours at a time to avoid overheating and to preserve the fragrance. Keep the melter on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, flammable objects, children, and pets. Never leave a wax melter unattended while in use. Allow the wax and warmer to cool completely before handling or cleaning. Once the fragrance fades, remove the cooled wax and replace with a fresh melt.

If you’re new to wax melts, we recommend starting with a simple electric wax melter or a ceramic tealight wax burner—both are widely available and easy to use for beginners.

PERFUMES + EDT:
Hold the bottle upright and spray the perfume onto clean, dry skin, focusing on pulse points such as the wrists, neck, and behind the ears. Avoid rubbing the fragrance into your skin, as this can alter the scent. Allow the perfume to air dry. For best results, apply after showering and before dressing.

Warnings

CANDLES: Burn within sight. Keep away from flammable objects, children, and pets. Trim wood wick to 1/8 inch before each use. Only burn candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Do not burn for more than 4 hours at a time. Keep wax free of debris and foreign materials. Stop use when 1/4 inch of wax remains. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Failure to follow these instructions may result in fire hazard or injury
