We are proud to present our new collection: handcrafted candles with fragrances from Grasse, made by hand in Provence, to transform your home into a haven of serenity.
Grasse: the world capital of perfume
Nestled in the hills of the French Riviera, Grasse has been the world capital of perfume since the 16th century.
It is here that the greatest names in French perfumery were born. It is here that fields of centifolia roses, jasmine, and lavender still flourish today, nourishing the creations of the most prestigious houses.
The fragrances of Grasse are not simply perfumes. They are complex compositions, crafted by artisan perfumers who perpetuate an ancestral know-how recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity.
By choosing fragrances from Grasse for our candles, we wanted to bring the very essence of this tradition of excellence into your home.
Hand-poured, step by step
Each Chic Bottle candle is handcrafted in Provence, using a meticulous process that prioritizes quality over speed.
The natural vegetable wax is melted at a precise temperature, then blended with the fragrance in carefully calculated proportions to ensure optimal scent diffusion—neither too strong nor too subtle. Just right.
The wax is poured by hand, one by one, into each glass container. The natural cotton wick is carefully positioned in the center to ensure a stable and even burn.
Each candle is then left to cool slowly and naturally before being carefully inspected and prepared.
This process cannot be accelerated. That is precisely what gives it its value.
Vegetable wax: a natural and responsible choice
We chose natural vegetable wax for several reasons.
Unlike paraffin—derived from petroleum—vegetable wax comes from renewable sources. It burns cleaner, without the black residue sometimes seen with industrial candles.
It also offers better fragrance diffusion, releasing the scent gradually throughout the burn to create a consistent and enveloping atmosphere.
And it's simply healthier for your home.

Our collection opens with eleven carefully selected fragrances, each designed to create a distinct atmosphere.

A cohesive world
Our candles are not just a random addition to our catalog.
They are the natural continuation of what we have been doing from the beginning: creating beautiful, durable objects designed for everyday use.
The candle glass echoes our carafes and bottles. The vegetable wax reflects our commitment to healthy and responsible materials. The fragrances from Grasse embody the same high standards of quality that we apply to every product.
Together, they create a cohesive, refined, and effortlessly elegant interior.
Tips for fully enjoying your candle
For an optimal experience, a few simple steps make all the difference.
When lighting the candle for the first time, let it burn until the entire surface of the wax has melted. This often-overlooked step prevents tunneling and ensures even fragrance diffusion throughout the candle's lifespan.
Before each use, trim the wick to five millimeters. A wick that is too long produces an unstable flame, generates smoke, and reduces burn time.
Do not burn your candle for more than three to four hours at a time. Extinguish it, let it cool, then relight it. It will thank you.
In conclusion
A flame. A fragrance. An atmosphere.
Our handcrafted candles with fragrances from Grasse are now available on chic-bottle.com, in eleven fragrances for eleven different ways to transform your home.
Because the most beautiful moments of everyday life deserve to be fully experienced.
