An Homage to Individuality

We had this provocative “golden trio” from August & Piers London gifted to us by a dear friend and we burnt them at the studio simultaneously – spread out throughout different rooms in the space. Muse, Saint and Libertine make for a fun self indulgence. The company’s philosophy invites us to embrace ourselves as individuals and honor the brilliance of all our quirks.

When opening these candle packages you are greeted with a quote on self love, which you can see in the image above. This set is a great homage to individuality and teamwork, homogenous to who we are at Studio Heimat. These luxury candles are made with a blend of soy, bee and rapeseed which is 100% natural and paraffin-free and cotton wicks. Let’s break them down!!

There is only one you. You will all your heart, soul, weird, wonderful. You with all your perfect and imperfect.

Libertine | Cedarwood • Guaiac Wood • Patchouli

The Libertine will allow you to revel in your liberal ways with this smoky, unrestrained blend of Cedarwood, mysterious Guaiac Wood and provocative Patchouli. The perfect scent for your risqué shenanigans

August & Piers strive to create scents that have a captivate fragrance, that helps others express their own unique selves. When lighting this candle at Studio Heimat, we where able to experience this scent just as August & Piers intended us to.

Muse | Bergamot • Benzoin • Vanilla

The Muse candle is meant to Inspire and mesmerize. With this fragrant masterpiece of Bergamot, Benzoin, and voluptuous Vanilla. A stimulating scent to be idolized and adored. As you ignite the wick, an irresistible essence of bergamot’s citrus scent  is perfectly paired with the creamy smell of benzoin and vanilla, and is released into  the air, gracing your nose with its invigorating aroma. 

Our team overall ranked Muse as the best candle in this iconic trio, Ménage à Trois. It was rated the best scent throw, packaging container, and burn down consistency. If you want to see our ratings for all the candles in this trio, you can find them at the bottom of the page!!

Saint | Fig • Cassis • Orange Blossom

The Saint candle is supposed to help you radiate your goodness into the world with its truly virtuous offering of sweet Fig, Cassis and angelic Orange Blossom. A scent from the heavens for a true angel.

The wax in this luxury scented candle is a blend of soy, bee and rapeseed which is 100% natural and paraffin-free, and the wicks of each candle are made of natural cotton. These candles also contain on average 100g more wax than other brands.

Overall the Libertine fragrance had an overall rating of 7.7,  The Saint 7.9 and the Muse was of the most liking with a rating of 8/10.
