A tribute to the largest palm grove in southern Morocco, Skoura, stretching over 27 kilometers of trails where palm trees, douars and kasbahs punctuate this magical and majestic territory. The kasbah immortalized by Serge Anton almost becomes like a medieval castle, and the photographer’s artistic work is expressed with a finish similar to aged gray paper. Of the three candles in the Orientalist collection, Skoura is probably the one which comes the closest to the unique texture of a museum canvas.

The quality of our scented candles involves a specific burning ritual. Each time the candle is burnt, it is important to wait until the entire surface liquefies before extinguishing the candle. This will prevent the formation of craters which are unattractive and make burning more difficult. The first time you light your candle, it will always burn for longer than on subsequent occasions. Allow time for the first layer of wax to liquefy completely. The length of time this takes varies depending on the size of the candle: a MAX10 candle will take 3 to 4 hours, a MAX16, 5 to 6 hours, a MAX24, 8 to 10 hours and a MAX35 will take 12 to 14 hours.

With its sublimated glass through which the flame appears, the Skoura scented candle releases a warm, spicy fragrance of cedar, amber and incense.

Sublimation involves printing the design with natural pigments on a biodegradable film. This is then applied around the glass and heated so that it adheres to the material. The flame can be seen through the design, which lights up like a lamp, bringing the candle to life.
