Maison Balzac united with Doctor Lisa Cooper, Sydney based artist, to create this candle as an ode to a 17th Century Vanitas. It awakes the perfumes of Adriaen Van Utrecht’s painting from the year 1642, Vanitas – Still Life with Bouquet and Skull, as an inquiry into the olfactory experience of viewing the image through alternative senses.

About the Brand:
Maison Balzac was created in Australia in 2012 by French-born Elise Pioch Balzac to express her endless imagination.
What started as a collection of five perfumed candles has become a homeware world of its own, exploring intriguing and playful objects which trigger emotions around the dining table. Transforming the everyday act of eating or drinking into quirky, memorable moments.
Elise started her career at Hermès in Paris under Martin Margiela's artistic direction, then as a fashion buyer in Australia for multi-brand boutiques Belinda and The Corner Shop. After travelling the world and being exposed to beauty and creativity for 10 years, she had a desire to apply her fashion eye to homewares. She calls it "jewellery for the table", and it truly is like dressing up a mini theatre for the everyday.
