The lidded candle combines bold fragrance with its fine porcelain construction, featuring stylized lip motifs as decorative elements. Its 1020-gram wax blend provides floral and citrus notes including anise, blood orange, and jasmine, while the substantial size ensures 119 hours of aromatic enjoyment. The iconic vessel serves as a lasting decorative accent.
The stylized face of opera singer Lina Cavalieri — infinitely reimagined across a range of collectible objects for Fornasetti — features on this fine porcelain lidded 'Nel Mentre' large scented candle through a single defining feature. The 'Bocche' decor focuses solely on Cavalieri's lips as a symbol of passion and temptation. The associated 'Frutto Proibito' fragrance is characterized by heady florals and bold citruses, with aphrodisiac notes. Anise, blood orange and sicilian grapefruit give way to vanilla, cuban cedar and rosewood atop a base of jasmine, mexican tuberose and ylang ylang. The seductive scent of this large 1020 gram candle can be enjoyed for 119 hours, after which time the iconic porcelain votive continues to fill spaces with the atelier’s inimtable charm.
