London based fragrance house, [Experimental Perfume Club](Experimental Perfume Club – Basenotes), have launched three new candles. EPC’s concept of fragrance layering is carried forward in this launch, with three three new candles available individually, as well as a set of three minis, designed to be layered.
The candles come in three of the best-selling EPC scents from the brands Essential Collection of fine fragrances. The scent of each candle represents one part of the fragrance pyramid; top ( Cardamom Moss), mid (Tonka Sesame) and base( Cedarwood Absinth). Each scent can be enjoyed alone, or lit together to layer the fragrances in seven different combinations.
The wax blend features a 40% plant-based formula enriched with shea butter and is housed in reusable ceramic containers.
Cardamom Moss
“A swirl of spices wrapped in salty waves of mineral mosses and Ambroxan. A scent of dualities pairing cool and warm spices. Zingy ginger fuses with warm turmeric, cool cardamon is juxtaposed with the depth of cinnamon. An overdose of Ambroxan and moss gives way to velvety, salt tinged woods wrapped into a hint of caramelised tobacco and powdery musks.”
Tonka Sesame
“An utterly delectable combination of gourmand notes and woods; fused in perfect harmony. Green hazelnuts, almonds and tonka beans all swirl around a delightful sesame. Heliotrope bolsters the nutty notes and hints of rice, whilst earthy patchouli and cedarwood ground the fragrance. A toasty scent that smells good enough to eat”.
Cedarwood Absinth
“A rich leathery fragrance unashamedly herbaceous, sultry and powerful. Aromatic wormwood oil gives the scent of Absinth. Cypriol roots bring a powerful earthy, balsamic undertone, bolstered by Virginia and Atlas Cedar, and patchouli. A rich leathery scent that begins fresh, before softening to a sensual woody-tobacco signature.”
All three scents are available now at the EPC website as 240g individually, or a 3x75g Layering Collection.
