A gentle enlightenment
Even hearts of stone will not be left unmoved by these candles, which are formulated exclusively with plant-based ingredients. Devoid of paraffin and of any other mineral compound derived from the petrochemical industry, their soft, all-natural wax is made up of rice, soy and copra; their wick is pure cotton, ensuring a steady combustion. Free of noxious effects, the plant-based nature of the waxes selected by Buly enables the preservation of the seven atmospheric fragrances’ integrity and truth, allowing for the full expression of their strengths and nuances. Carved in marble, the candle’s Buly-stamped “glass” is a luxurious and durable item reminiscent of the splendor of ancient vases and of the “hard stone” artefacts brought back from India. Just so as not to keep you in the dark: each candle is sheltered by a glass bell that preserves its fragrance and prevents dust and impurities from settling onto the wax. With their unique, varied marbles, these will be the starting point of a collection that will delight both the visual and olfactory senses. Enter a candle, entirely clothed in light.
The upshot
A pleasantly fragrant room, a durable and subdued light, somewhere between eighty and a hundred hours of olfactory delight.
What to do next?
Write your memoirs. Reread the letters of Madame de Sévigné. Have friends over for a fancy dinner. Enjoy a slow-cooked leg of lamb by candlelight. Spill the beans as to where you bought it. Burn it as fast as possible to make room for a new bunch of flowers.
