“Warm, welcoming, I take you serenely o a world buzzing with images. Memories of Asia, wooden houses in the heart of the ancient city, hot, spinning spices. My unique woody harmony of patchouli and teak brings a refined exotic touch to your home.”
The first thing I’m struck with in the cold scent of the Rigaud Bois Precieux candle is teak. It reminds me of the Votivo Teak candle that I love so much. While Votivo Teak brought me down into the hull of a luxurious sail boat with a sexy man, the Rigaud Bois Precieux candle is more exotic than that. The rich spices and patchouli bring images of ornate, dark wood. Very detailed and highly complex. When burning, the spices swell and infuse the room. The wood and earthy patchouli keep everything grounded and natural.
Rigaud candles burn beautifully and easily, liquefying quickly across the top. They leave very little residue on the glass and when the wax re-solidifies it looks as pretty as it does when first opened. We’ve never seen any other candle burn quite like it. If you can afford the indulgence, be sure to give Rigaud candles a try. They are pricey but incredibly impressive.
Fragrance intensity: 4/5 Burn quality: 5/5
More about rigaud bois precieux candle
If you are enjoying rigaud bois precieux candle, a few simple habits help you get the most from it.
- 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
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.
Layering is a fun way to personalize a room. Pairing two scents that share a note, such as a citrus with a green leaf, can create something that feels like yours.
Think about where the scent will live. Bright citrus and green notes tend to suit kitchens and bathrooms, while warm spice, vanilla and wood often suit living rooms and bedrooms.
Give a scent time. The first impression is not always the whole story, because fragrance notes open up and settle as a candle warms or a diffuser works.
