Calacatta Viola

€135.00
Only a few left

Distinctive and expressive, Calacatta Viola is defined by its luminous ivory ground, animated by sweeping veins of burgundy and violet. Each piece is entirely unique, revealing its own rhythm, movement and natural intensity.

Carved into a sculptural vessel, the stone balances delicacy with drama. Fluid veining moves across the pale surface like a composition in itself, giving each piece a rich, architectural presence while retaining an effortless sense of refinement.

The fragrance is composed with the structure and complexity of a fine perfume, unfolding through dark fruit, spiced florals and warm, mossy woods:

  • Top notes: Berry, Blackcurrant, Green Leaves

  • Heart notes: Clove, Geranium, Rose, Jasmine

  • Base notes: Musk, Moss, Sweet Woods

Berry and blackcurrant introduce a dark, vibrant freshness, lifted by green leaves. Clove then brings warmth and depth to rose, geranium and jasmine, before the composition settles into a soft base of musk, moss and woods.

Hand-poured in Dublin using natural soy wax, each Lou Joia candle is designed as both fragrance and object. Once the candle has burned, the marble vessel remains, an enduring piece to be reused and lived with.

Presented in a hand-sewn black velvet pouch and finished with a discreet Lou Joia brass signature at its base.

Founder’s note

“Calacatta Viola is Copenhagen to me.

It is the city I return to every year and the one I carry with me when I am designing. There is a way the Danes live with light: softening it, gathering it, lighting a candle in the middle of the afternoon simply because it makes the room feel kinder. Hygge, they call it. A word for the small, deliberate art of being at home in a moment.

That feeling is what I wanted to create.

This candle is the lift of a Copenhagen morning and the hush of its long blue evenings. Berry and blackcurrant and green leaves at the top, the brightness of spring through a window. Clove and geranium and rose at the heart, the romance of a table set for people you love. Moss and musk and warm wood at the base, the quiet, grounding pleasure of a home that holds you.

The marble matched the feeling before I had words for it. Soft ivory, animated by violet veining that runs through the stone like something alive. Delicate and unexpected.

Of all four pieces in this collection, Calacatta Viola is the one most people fall for first. I understand why. It is the easiest to live with, the easiest to love. It does not ask anything of you. It simply lifts the room.

This is the candle I light when I want to feel inspired. When I want a space to feel like a beginning. When I want a little of Copenhagen, wherever I am.”
