Jungle-like notes sway in the warm breeze of the tropical night. History December 1978. Midnight in the garden, Armando's Le Club, Acapulco, México.The nocturnal scent of the garden, the pool surrounded by a lush mirage of palm fronds, grass and tropical flowers, a blue and green carpet stretching onto the starlit bay. Your senses get lost in it, feeling the cool wet grass underfoot turning into a warm sand as the garden merges with the beach, your head still spinning from the hot night. Breath it all in... you're in paradise. Developed with Nicole Mancini and Rodrigo Flores-Roux. Description High-concentration perfumed candle: 9 oz / 255 g. Estimated burning time: 55 to 60 hours. Each ARQUISTE candle is hand-poured in the United States using a clean-burning soy wax blend, a 100% cotton wick and a high concentration of fine fragrance. The formula is vegan, cruelty-free, and made without parabens or phthalates, creating a beautifully scented atmosphere while remaining mindful of your home and the environment. Candle Care: Allow the wax to melt completely across the surface during the first burn, approximately two hours. Thereafter, burn for no more than three hours at a time. Trim the wick to less than ¼ inch before each lighting to ensure a clean, even flame and to minimize soot. Burn time is approximately fifty-five hours. *Candles can ship internationally. More - NOCTURNAL GREEN (like our ÉL and ELLA) was inspired by the decadence and glamour of Acapulco in the 70s. December in Acapulco was the obligatory stop in the jet set calendar, with lots of beach and pool time, and endless partying in tropical gardens. - The idea behind NOCTURNAL GREEN was to recreate the night time scent of the garden outside of famous discotheque, Armando’s Le Club. Upon leaving the dance floor, you would exit onto the garden, where the thick, dewy grass would extend beyond the pool and into the beach. - The aroma of the luxuriously green candle is reminiscent of tropical gardens, pools and beautiful beaches. The luscious scent of the curupita flower, combined with the fresh and invigorating notes of petrichor, dewy palm fronds and fresh cut grass, capture the essence of eternal summer.
