SCENTED CANDLE, 1635
Limited Edition
Johan de Witt and Constantijn Huygens found beauty in formulae: one in mathematics, the other in recipes.
This candle features a galley division in Johan’s hand and a popular perfume, Angel Water, with notes of styrax, benjoin, sweet wine, cinnamon, collected by Constantijn in 1645.
Just as abstract beauty and the sensory pleasures of scent stimulate the same region of our brains, these features combine to capture the sweetness of heavenly rapture.

Constantijn Huygens (1596-1687) was a true homo universals: as much poet as politique, he was also a perfumer. He created over 150 individual scents whose recipes have been hidden for centuries. " Ode de Parfum: To My Mother " is an hommage to his beloved mother. This 100% natural perfume was one of his favorite creations.
This natural scented candle is a collaboration between HUYGENS Paris, the Huygens Institute for the History of the Netherlands, NL-LAB, de Jonge Akademie and Givaudan.
