“I wanted to create scented candles like small colourful melodies, a bit playful, a bit mysterious.” Mona Di Orio, already known for her perfumes (she was a pupil of Edmond Roudnitska), now makes scented candles. Produced by the world’s oldest wax manufacturer, La Maison Cire Trudon, they are composed of natural vegetable wax. The little piece of coral that adorns the lid is a souvenir of her grandfather, a coral diver in Ischia, near Naples. 53 €. In sales at Taizo, 120 rue d’Antibes, 06400 Cannes (04 93 39 57 58).
