Nestled deep in the exotic woodlands of Thailand dwells the remarkable Agarwood tree, which produces oud — an opulent, mesmerizing resin that encourages relaxation and introspection and is used extensively for meditation. After three years of meticulous formulation, Lotus Garden Botanicals has finally launched an exclusively sold candle made with Oud. Formulating with Oud is a complex process, as it requires balancing and rounding out indolic nuances that can easily lead to undesirable outcomes - such as strong and overpowering animalic notes. Rather, Grandeur de Oud is a beautiful representation of Oud’s deeply rich woodiness and lush, comforting environment. Intertwined with other complementary woods, fresh citrus, sweet tonka bean, and warm spices, lighting Grandeur de Oud brings familiarity to the senses — a return to one’s roots. A remembrancer of one’s greatness.
Top notes: Sweet Orange, Birch Wood, and Pink Pepper
Middle/Base Notes: Oud, Guaiacwood, Cedarwood, Saffron, and Tonka Bean
Composed of 100% pure plant oils, soy, and coconut wax, with a natural wood wick. Each Grandeur de Oud candle is luxuriously housed in your choice of pure marble, glass, or an onyx vessel that has undergone a sustainable production process. These vessels are truly a stunning pièce de la résistance - a display of the exquisite olfactory composition that they contain. As a token of remembrance, every Grandeur de Oud is equipped with a unique natural stone that surfaces upon a candle’s completion— a South African tiger’s eye to promote the wearer’s optimism and willpower.
