Some pieces are about who you are. Others are about who shaped you.
It carries my sister, who has always worn a fragrance built around dark orchids, a scent I have known almost as long as I have known her. To smell it is to be returned to her, instantly. To every late conversation, every shared room, every version of ourselves we have grown through together.
It carries Paris too. The city where I first began to notice burgundy as a colour with weight, in the marble of a hotel lobby, the velvet of a banquette, the lacquer of a door I passed and never opened. A colour I have collected ever since, in small touches throughout my own home. A signal, to me, of a certain kind of beauty. Considered, grown-up & a little indulgent.
That is what Rosso is. Indulgence in its quietest form. The orchid and the lotus wood at its heart, the truffle and bergamot above, the dark chocolate and vetiver below, a fragrance that does not announce itself but stays in the room long after you have left it.
I wanted a vessel that could hold all of that warmth without ever feeling heavy. A material with its own richness, its own quiet drama so that the candle and the stone speak the same language.
Light it slowly. It is a candle for the evening, for low light, for the hours when you want the room to feel like it is holding you back.

Born from exceptional craftsmanship, Lou Joia Marble Candles bring together the art of perfumery and the precision of traditional candle-making.
Each candle is composed from a carefully balanced blend of waxes, a high-quality fragrance concentrate and meticulously selected wicks, chosen to ensure an even burn and a beautiful diffusion of scent.
Each piece is carefully crafted and finished in our Dublin studio.

An artisanal creation, your Lou Joia candle deserves considered care. Following these simple steps will help preserve its quality, optimise its burn and allow you to enjoy it safely.
Prepare your space
Place the candle on a flat, stable and heat-resistant surface.
Protect delicate surfaces, including wood and marble, with a suitable tray or candle plate.
Keep away from flammable materials, children and pets.
The first burn
We recommend lighting your candle with a long match.
On the first burn, allow the wax to melt evenly across the surface, creating a full melt pool. This may take up to approximately 4 hours depending on the fragrance and surrounding environment.
Allowing the wax to melt evenly helps prevent tunnelling and encourages a consistent burn throughout the life of the candle.
A small amount of smoke may appear when the wicks are first lit.
While burning
Do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.
Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Do not move the candle while lit or while the vessel and wax are still hot.
Keep away from draughts and heat sources.
After each use
Extinguish the flame gently, preferably using a candle snuffer.
Once extinguished, carefully re-centre the wicks if necessary.
Before each new burn, trim the wicks to approximately 3–5 mm to encourage a clean, controlled flame.
When to stop burning
Discontinue use when approximately 5 mm of wax remains, or when the metal wick sustainers become visible.
Care & storage
Allow the candle and wax to cool completely before moving or handling the vessel.
We recommend airing the room after burning your candle.
Keep your Lou Joia velvet pouch to protect the candle between uses or for storage.
Store in a cool, dry place between approximately 15°C and 25°C, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat, to help preserve the fragrance, wax and natural stone vessel.
