Our “Deux Amours" candle brings Josephine Baker's sizzling style to Harlem’s pulsating jazz clubs and the electric Folies Bergere in Paris, iconic chanteuse and entertainer dazzles audiences with her provocative and mesmerizing performances. 

Inspired by her signature song, “J’ai Deux Amours” (“I Have Two Loves”), the Deux Amours candle celebrates her supreme affection for both Paris and the United States, the two places she held deep in her heart and dramatically transformed her life. This candle is housed in an exquisite ceramic white and gold vessel adorned with our original illustrations of Josephine Baker dancing. It also features the sheet music for the song, where it was revealed that she hid secret notes on its pages written in invisible ink as she traveled throughout Europe performing while also working as an anti-Nazi spy for the French Resistance during World War II. 

The sparkling, citrus-infused opening of bergamot blossom melds beautifully with a nuance of aromatic cinnamon bark and the freshness of pure white ylang ylang. The velvet floral heart of rose centifolia and lavender buds is framed by the glow of golden labdanum, as a warm, sensual base of tonka bean, cedarwood and precious musks provide a sophisticated finish to perfectly encapsulate the emotion, romance and “Deux Amours” that were the heart and soul of Josephine Baker.

Elizabeth ★★★★★

The scent throws me straight back to a smoky Parisian basement club, it's that evocative. The ceramic vessel is heavy and beautiful, so I'll definitely be reusing it once the wax is gone.

Amelia H. ★★★★★

The packaging alone feels like opening a little piece of history, and the way it burns so evenly with that jazz-age vibe is just lovely. I've had it glowing on my coffee table for three nights now, and the ambiance it creates with the name and story behind it makes me feel like I'm in a Parisian clu

Harper J. ★★★★★

The scent throw is incredible for a single wick—it fills my whole living room within fifteen minutes of lighting. I love that the inspiration is woven into the experience, it makes burning it feel like a little escape to another era.
