Poème en Cire — Aegean Fish

Poème en Cire — Flamingo in Bloom · Aegean Stillness

Beneath an endless Aegean sky, a flamingo stands among ripening tangerines and scattered green leaves—an unexpected meeting of coastal stillness, vivid color, and Mediterranean warmth.

Painted in saturated ocean blue, coral pink, citrus orange, and touches of leafy green, Flamingo in Bloom transforms a sunlit island memory into a sculptural wax tableau. The flamingo’s elongated form rises through the composition with playful elegance, while the tangerines introduce a note of warmth and abundance against the depth of the sea.

Expressive rather than literal, each surface preserves the movement of hand-applied wax—layered, tactile, and intentionally imperfect.

Scent Profile

• Top — Tangerine Rose & Blackcurrant: Bright citrus peel, luminous rose, and a juicy dark-fruit accent
• Heart — White Tea: Clean tea leaves with a soft, airy floral character
• Base — Sel de Mer: Mineral sea air, delicate salt, and a quiet coastal freshness

The fragrance opens with sparkling tangerine and rose, softens into translucent white tea, and settles into the mineral calm of sea salt. Bright, breezy, and gently floral, it evokes a Mediterranean afternoon suspended between citrus gardens and open water.

One-of-a-Kind Character

Every Flamingo in Bloom candle is individually composed and painted by hand. No two pieces can ever be recreated exactly—not even by the same maker.

Variations in the flamingo’s form, leg length, wax texture, citrus placement, color balance, and surface relief are natural expressions of the artistic process. Each candle is a singular work, preserving the movement of the wax and the presence of the hand that shaped it.

Safety

Remove all decorative ties before lighting. Trim the wick to approximately ¼ inch before each burn. Burn within sight and keep away from children, pets, drafts, and flammable objects. Always place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
