We are so happy to partner with Apis Cera to bring you pure beeswax candles made in Provence.

Faustine, is a natural Amber scented organic candle in its luxurious mottled golden glass.

Entirely hand-made with 100% organic soy and beeswax, we named her Faustine in reference to her greek etymology (φῶς, phỗs : Fire light)

Its delicate amber perfume has been elaborated in the Grasse region in South of France (Provence) – and is, of course, natural and organic.

The amber evokes Nature’s hidden treasures, ancient civilisations’ mysteries and the warm air of the South, full of honey and sun.

Renée Vivien tells it better in her 1902 poem:

You are my palace, my evening and my autumn,
And my sail of silk and my garden of lilies,
My censer of gold and my white column,
My parkland, and my pool, with its reeds and its iris.

You are my perfumes of amber and honey, my palm,
My leafy boughs, the cicadas’ song on the breeze,
My snow that is dying of hauteur and calm,
And my sea-wrack and my vistas of the seas.

And you are my bell that sobs with unvarying tone,
My airy island and my saving oasis…
You are my palace, my evening and my autumn,
And my sail of silk and my garden of lilies.
