Created by perfumer Émilie Bouge (Robertet), Altaïr reveals a distinctive attraction to faraway lands: “I composed Altaïr as an opulent, elegant, nude and resolutely modern fragrance: the exotic, gentle and enveloping scent transports us to an imaginary destination,” explains the nez. Altaïr's woody-floral duality is immediately appealing: a warm peony blends with the strength of oud; it is further revealed by a deep, textured leather-suede note. “First, you feel the woods and then comes the soft peony: it brings out the fragrance’s rosy side and a beige-pink universe reminiscent of sand dunes. Altaïr brings together beautiful, timeless, raw materials (sandalwood, cedar, styrax, agarwood); although distinctive, all ingredients come together in a common chromatic universe. Altaïr is highly symbolic: it portrays the strength of wood and earth with the finesse of flowers”.

Candle Care
- In order to get the most out of your candle, burn it until the entire surface of the candle melts.
- To preserve the fragrance, do not burn your candle for more than 2 hours at a time during the first third of the candle and 1 hour at a time during the remaining.
- Do not leave candle burning unattended. Do not set in a draft. Keep away from children, curtains and pets.
- Should the wick require centering, gently readjust to correct position when the wax is still molten. Allow candle to solidify before relighting.
- Should any black smoke appear, trim the tip of the wick. It should be clean and no longer than 5mm at all times.
- Always protect the table or surface on which the candle rests (with a wood or ceramic plate, for example).
- Do not burn your candle all the way down. Always leave at least 5 mm of non-molten wax at the bottom.
- Keep your candle in a dry and temperate environment, between 60 and 80° F.
- The first use of your candle should occur within the two first months after its reception.
