WAXING LYRICAL
With the launch of a new candle collection, Hedi Slimane expands the CELINE Haute Parfumerie universe, which was established in 2019 with the brand’s first fragrances. The new collection comprises eight candles, of which six will be launched this month, with the remaining two debuting later in the year. The scents are drawn from memories close to Slimane, evoking moods and atmospheres as varied as a Parisian apartment, a Californian night, a couture atelier and a nightclub. True to Slimane form, the candle holder itself is a statement of design— inspired by an 18th-century silver goblet and crafted using traditional French glassmaking techniques. Completing the offering are accessories such as a candle snuffer, a wick trimmer, a leather holder, a canvas travel case and matches.
