NERO MARQUINA

€135.00

Dramatic and deeply architectural, Nero Marquina marble is defined by its intense black surface, traced with fine white and beige veining. Each piece is entirely unique, revealing the natural movement and depth of the stone.

Carved into a sculptural vessel, the material speaks for itself, bold yet restrained, bringing contrast and quiet intensity to refined interiors.

Inspired by the founder’s signature scent, the fragrance unfolds in soft, sensual layers where dark fruits meet radiant florals and warm, enveloping woods:

  • Top notes: Blackberry, Mandarin

  • Heart notes: Jasmine, Orange, Rose

  • Base notes: Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Sandalwood

Hand-poured in Dublin using non-toxic, natural soy wax, Lou Joia candles are crafted for a clean, considered burn. Designed to be reused, each marble vessel is accompanied by a hand-sewn black velvet pouch. A discreet Lou Joia brass signature is set at the base of each piece.

Details:
Marble candle dimensions: 8.5 × 8.5 × 10 cm
Total weight (with wax): 1.25 kg
Net weight: 380 g
Burn time: approximately 80 hours

Founder’s note


“Some scents you wear. Others become you.

This one has been mine for seventeen years. Before I knew the notes, before I could name what I was drawn to, I knew the feeling of it.

Warmth, closeness, the sense of being home in my own skin.

I have worn it every day since. Through every version of myself, every city, every door I have walked through wanting to be remembered. It is the scent I reach for when I want to feel like myself and the one I reach for when I want to be wanted. Addictive, in the quietest way.

Nero Marquina is the most personal piece I have made. Black and white, the colours of Lou Joia and the two halves of this fragrance. The dark fruits and the radiant florals. The shadow and the light … a scent that is at once an embrace and an invitation.

I wanted to give it a vessel that could hold all of that. Stone because some things deserve permanence. Marble because no two pieces are the same and neither are the people who will live with it.

This candle is my home, distilled. I hope, when you light it, it becomes a little of yours too.”
