Product Insights
This candle continues D'ORSAY's 1830 tradition of perfume as a love letter, its name encoding a silent 5:30 PM rendezvous. The musky-floral-spicy unisex scent allows couples to share it as a romantic gesture, with a strong room-filling throw. Revived in 2019 from an 1830 private fragrance, the candle is handcrafted by a fourth-generation candlemaker using 1904 Frigolet Abbey techniques, with a custom wax paste of mineral and vegetable waxes and a pure cotton wick. The refillable glass-and-brass vessel is designed as a permanent keepsake reinforcing the love note message, yet the candle is currently out of stock, underscoring its exclusivity.
