Fety Milalao

The Milalao scented candle is wrapped in hand-crocheted raffia from our women’s cooperative in Madagascar. The bayadère striped pattern, a mix of lemon yellow and acid green on a natural background, is reminiscent of the deckchairs on the beaches of the Côte d’Azur. A yellow embroidered ruffle across the top makes this scented candle a genuine decorative object inspired by the world of fashion. Milalao means «to play» in Malagasy. Mint - Vetiver - Ylang-Ylang Its aromatic fragrance, with notes of mint, vetiver and ylang-ylang, is a perfect match for the colors of the raffia. The quality of our scented candles involves a specific burning ritual. Each time the candle is burnt, it is important to wait until the entire surface liquefies before extinguishing the candle. This will prevent the formation of craters which are unattractive and make burning more difficult. The first time you light your candle, it will always burn for longer than on subsequent occasions. Allow time for the first layer of wax to liquefy completely. The length of time this takes varies depending on the size of the candle. Never burn the last 1cm (1/2 inch) of wax to avoid flames burning against the glass.
