Drawing inspiration from a legend of Italian literature, our new Gattopardo candle pays homage to the elegance and mystery of a bygone era, wrapped in a luxurious design and infused with a captivating woody fragrance based on sandalwood, spices, and vanilla.
To share where this inspiration began - my roots are deeply intertwined with Italian culture and literature. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Italian Philology with a specialization in Italian language and literature. During my studies, the iconic novel “Il Gattopardo” by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa quickly became one of my favorite masterpieces. Its timeless elegance and complexity left a lasting mark - and now, it lives again in the form of a candle.
Il Gattopardo is translated from Italian as “The Leopard”.
In the novel The Leopard, this noble animal is depicted on the Salina family crest and symbolizes the main character — Prince Salina, his powerful nature, inner dignity, and profound character.
GATTOPARDO scented candle is an intricate meander of french vanilla and precious woods that exudes an unhibited luxury. Top notes of atlas cedarwood and fresh neroli blossoms, a sugary heart of cogniac caramel, douglas fir and patchouli in the middle notes and a warm base of sandalwood, ambergris, vanilla and musk make up this opulent and multifaceted balsamic composition.
Top notes: cedar leaves, neroli
Middle notes: cognac, caramel, fir, patchouli
Base notes: vanilla, sandalwood, ambergris, musk

Big scented soy wax candle GATTOPARDO
1. When lighting a candle for the first time, wait until the wax melts over the entire surface, to the very edges. It takes approximately 2-3 hours. This is necessary so that the candle warms up well and a hole does not appear in the wax, so the candle will last longer.
2. Trim the wick (cotton wick) by 2-3mm before each use. The candle will not produce smoke and the aroma will not be distorted. This can be done with nail scissors. Wooden wicks don't need to be trimmed.
3. Don't blow out the candles! If you blow out a candle and then light it again, you will not feel the true aroma; the smell of a smoldering wick will be mixed in with it. Place the lid on the candle, then open it slightly, release the smoke, and close it again. If there is no lid, you can use a candle snuffer, which looks like a bell.
4. Do not burn the candle for more than 4 hours at a time, it may overheat. Once the wax has hardened, you can relight the candle and enjoy the aroma.
Thanks to these rules, the candle will last longer, and you will get maximum pleasure from aromatherapy.
