The Valentino Cire Noir Scented Candle captures the drama and depth of Renaissance chiaroscuro through a fragrance that is both bold and irresistibly refined. Notes of aromatic clary sage essence intertwine with a rich amber accord, creating a warm amber-and-leather composition that feels textured, sensual, and deeply sophisticated. Crafted by perfumer Yann Vasnier, this olfactory creation unfolds like a precious fabric, balancing light and shadow with effortless elegance. Housed in an ivory-hued vessel inspired by the warmth of Roman hospitality, the candle offers up to 35 hours of beautifully immersive fragrance. Luxurious and atmospheric, Cire Noir transforms any room into a space of timeless allure.

• Preparation: Before each use, shorten the wick to no more than 5 mm to minimise soot.
• Burning: For the first use, allow the wax to melt completely across the entire surface to ensure an even burn. For optimal fragrance diffusion and to avoid overheating, melt the wax at intervals of 2-3 hours.
• Care and maintenance: After each use, allow the wax to cool and fully solidify before handling or relighting the candle. This preserves the fragrance and prolongs its life. Once completely burned, gently clean the candle with a soft cloth to restore its original appearance.
