La Vie Boheme
In the candlelit cafes of Montparnasse, they gathered - painters, poets, performers, provocateurs - pouring absinthe and arguing about beauty until dawn. A century and a half later, their contemporaries haunt lower Decatur on any given night. Just as gritty, just as restless, just as alive.
Absinthe and black currant open sharp and dark, softened by the crisp bite of green apple. Saffron and vanilla pull the vibe somewhere ever deeper and darker, while cedarwood and patchouli ground this profile into something that lingers the way a night in the Vieux Carre always does.
If there’s anything you take away from the fever-dream that is New Orleans, it’s the philosophy of La Vie Boheme : Freedom, Beauty, Truth & Love.

CANDLE CARE / SAFETY
- FIRST BURN : allow enough burn time for a full and even melt pool to form. It doesn’t need to go allll the way to the edge, but closer than Creed, k? (*^ ‿ *)
- Always burn on a fire-resistant surface away from any drafts, children & pets.
- TRIM DAT WICK! Wooden wicks are not self-trimming, like cotton wicks — before re-lighting your candle, use a wick trimmer, nail clipper, or your fingers to remove previously charred material.
- Keep away from extreme heat and moisture.
- Optimal burn sessions are 2-4 hours - no more than 6 hours.
- Do not burn to the bitter end - you’re ready for a refill once you hit the last 1/4 inch of wax remaining in the jar!
