"What a coincidence you asked! My first candle is going to be a collaboration with French candle brand Florilège Co. My signature scent is Peppermint and you will find this fragrance throughout my brand. For the candle, we wanted to keep this main ingredient but add a masculine, yet sensual touch to it that all women love. We came up with a very nice Peppermint and Musk formula. It is fresh and woodsy. We called the collaboration “diner aux Chandelles” (candlelit dinner)."

#### **Describe the scent of your Oh La La Land candle, Douglas.**
"The fragrance for Oh La La Land would best be described by the French phrase "la petite mort" (the little death). It means "a state or event resembling or prefiguring death; a weakening or loss of consciousness, specifically in sleep or during an orgasm.” Top chord: Sun-warmed soft pine, turpentine butter, frankincense, and linseed oil. Open in a hallucination of past and present. Heart chord: Full, over-ripened Bulgarian rose, swells of French tuberose, heated skin, saliva, waxy carnelian lipstick, and wet hair. Base chord: Sweet, sticky clouds of blonde tobacco, smoky brine, Topanga sweet grass, opium tar absolute, labdanum, hints of scrotum laced with Madagascar vanilla concrete."
