The Best Smelling 2011 Calendar. 12 Months Of Designer Candles From Quintessence.




A Calendrier Olfactif- 2011 Candle calendar set by Quintessence

A box of twelve individually packaged candles marked for each month, from Paris based perfumerie Quintessence. From chefs and palmists to fashion designers, each container and scent has been created by a different artist.



Artists include Azzedine Alaia, Association La Voix de l'Enfant, Madison Cox, Frederic Fekkai, Christian Tortu, Jean-Pierre Vigato, François Catroux, Yaguel Didier, Ines Sastre, Jean-Michel Othoniel, Jean-Francois Lesage and Apollonia Poilane.




A very interesting and evocative idea from the fine Parisian distillateur’s Quintessence. Let each month fill your house with a specially curated scent; you can even keep the containers once the candle has burnt down and refill them with tea lights.
