HOME FRAGRANCES

TIME, SUSPENDED

With Fornasetti candles, design and fragrance meet in a sensory experience where time seems to stand still. An invitation to turn minutes into moments that make space for beauty and imagination.

Each fragrance opens the mind to a new place. Each flame fills the room with a different light. Each burning candle marks a moment to savour and remember.

Fornasetti candles are creations to be preserved and handed down, destined to live multiple lives and to be rediscovered over time as objects of inspiration.

Explore the three new Mascherina, Soli and Giardino Settecentesco designs.

Frutto Proibito is a seductive fragrance. It awakens the senses with Mediterranean and citrus top notes that embrace the scent of jasmine.

An enveloping temptation that becomes a metaphor for springtime rebirth.

The Immaginazione fragrance is the quintessence of the Atelier's imagery and of its most iconic motifs: a harmonious, visionary dialogue between the ancient and the contemporary.

Elegant yet intense, it is a combination of Mediterranean herbs from Casa Fornasetti's garden with cedar and sandalwood producing woody, aromatic notes.

Giardino Segreto is a treasure trove of scents that emerges from the wild, lush natural world as a web of herbs and foliage.

A secret undergrowth that takes on mystical, eccentric traits thanks to the enveloping presence of myrrh, sandalwood and ebony.

HOW TO
SUSPEND TIME:


you’ll need a candle, its flame, and its fragrance.

FIRST
Find a place that feels right. Keep away from air flows, opt for straight, heat-resistant surfaces, and make sure the candle has lots of free overhead space.

THEN
Light a flame, let it burn for a while: if you light it only to put it out right away, the candle might sink in the middle.

NOW
Focus on the flame: let your imagination run free for two hours (without counting too much). The best flames are achieved with a burn time of 2 up to 4 hours.

AT THE END
Extinguish the flame with the lid or with a wick dipper. Above all, don’t blow. And don’t forget to say goodnight.

THIS FLAME-BASED, TIME-STOPPING RITUAL IS FOR ONE OR FOR MANY, FOR NIGHT OR FOR DAY. REPEAT AT WILL.
