The Nel Mentre candle offers an intersection of fragrance and design with its Bocche decor featuring Lina Cavalieri's lips as a symbol of passion. Its porcelain container encases a wax candle scented with Frutto Proibito fragrance, featuring heady florals, bold citruses, and aphrodisiac notes including anise, blood orange, and Sicilian grapefruit. The candle provides a 119-hour burn time, while the iconic porcelain votive continues to add charm after the wax is consumed.
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.
