The answers to your “why”!
Are Atelier Cire candles signed?
It depends on the model. Indeed, the process of making the candle depends on each model. We sometimes start from the original piece, sometimes from a mold, a plaster or a replica. If possible, we make sure that the candle is signed in the wax, but this is not always possible.
Why do Atelier Cire candles seem expensive?
Finely finished "cast" candles are difficult to make, much more so than so-called "poured" candles in a container. Just like bronze sculptures, they require a form of chiselling, in other words, manual touch-ups to perfect them. These are handmade candles. They are also replicas of works of art, which implies assignments of copyright. These candles are also beautiful pieces, generally around a kilo. If you compare the price to weight on comparable candle ranges, you will discover that they are fairly priced.
Why are delivery times on the Atelier Cire website longer than on other websites?
Atelier Cire is a one-man business, the team is very small and we do a lot of things. In order to manage our time well between the sales department, production, business development, administrative tasks and marketing, we have decided to organize deliveries once a week, on Tuesdays. This way, our schedule is controlled to move forward better. If you are really in a hurry, do not hesitate to contact us by email or phone. You can also buy your candle from a partner reseller whose delivery times are shorter.
Why do you only deliver to Europe?
It is a question of legislation. Indeed, the candle trade meets safety standards that must be respected and there are almost as many standards as there are countries. Our candles are currently manufactured and especially labeled to meet the requirements of the European market. If you wish to be delivered outside the euro zone, contact us and we will study the feasibility.
Why Atelier Cire candles are made without added fragrance
Indeed, it is a choice for the launch of the collection. The reason is simple, the creator of Atelier Cire is allergic to scented candles. Atelier Cire candles naturally diffuse the scent of the burning wax like the sweet smell of Christmas or those of celebrations when candles and candles are lit. They have the discreet scent of warm atmospheres.
Moreover, attaching a scent to a candle is tricky as the scent is a personal matter. Finally, there are many other solutions for perfuming your home (melts, home fragrance, incense, essential oils, etc.).
