It’s funny that such an elegant candle line, like Rigaud, actually has very dirty, gritty, earthy fragrances. The Rigaud Jardin d’Orient candle is a prime example.
“Like a window opened onto imaginary oriental gardens, I bring the light and fragrances of magical, scented nature. Woodsy base notes, the subtleness of patchouli, disconcerting and penetrating harmony of honey and musk. Magic is my territory.”
- Month: April, when the ground is thawing and oozing its earthy aroma
- Celebrity: Joaquin Phoenix as he is now in real life. Ruff/gruff looking.
- Color: deep, dark brown like mud or espresso
- Element (fire, water, air, earth, metal): Earth
- Sex: Male
- Wax feel: silk
- Fragrance age: 56 (Not the age of the consumer. If the fragrance had an age.)
Tips for enjoying rigaud jardin
If you are enjoying rigaud jardin, a few simple habits help you get the most from it. Whether rigaud jardin is new to you or an old favorite, it is worth a closer look.
- Trim the wick to about a quarter of an inch before every burn so the flame stays steady and clean.
- On the first burn, let the wax melt all the way to the edges of the container to help prevent tunneling.
- Keep the candle away from drafts, fans and anything flammable, and never leave a burning candle unattended.
- Stop burning when about half an inch of wax is left in the container, and let it cool fully before relighting.

A quick scent guide
Seasons change what we want to smell. Many people reach for light, airy scents in spring and summer, and richer, warmer scents in fall and winter.
Scent is personal. A fragrance that feels cozy to one person can feel heavy to another, so use our notes as a starting point and trust your own nose.
Start small when you try something new. A single candle, a sample or a small bottle lets you live with a scent before you commit to more.
Fragrance families help you shop. Floral, fruity, woody, fresh and gourmand scents each have a mood, and knowing which you enjoy makes choosing much easier.
