Lelite - Orange & Amber Candles, Bath & Body










It's official. This is our favorite Claus Deco fragrance for Spring 2008. Lelite has been a huge success at Melange since the weather began to warm up; though I feel it has a warmth to it that will continue to endure through Autumn (the rich color does not hurt either).

Warm Amber is enlivened with uplifting Orange flower and Cumquat. The candle is rich and floral and will envelop a good sized room with its fragrance. The soy blend wax with cotton wicks burn beautifully. Try the soaps in your bath or the guest bath -- your guests will thank you. I recently gave a Lelite candle as a hostess gift and received the nicest Thank You card!

Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier

"To create perfumes, I use my imagination, my dreams and my journeys abroad.." -Jean-Paul Millet Lage.


Mr. Lage has used his travels wisely. This new to the store, hard -to- find line of fragrances from Paris are just in time for Summer, a perfect time to try a new fragrance. They are also just in time for Father's Day.. we did not forget the men (or the people who shop for them!).

Here are highlights for these wonderful fragrances:

Rose Muskissime: Moroccan Rose, Black Currant & Mango. The inspired blending of Turkish and Moroccan Rose with fruity Currant berries and fresh Mango.

Camelia Chinois: Spectacular blend of Green Tea, Exotic Fruits & Sandalwood. So perfect for the warm weather. The Camellia leaves are used in the manufacture of the worlds finest Green Tea's. These green notes are wrapped with Hesperides & Fruit with sensual base notes of Musk and Sandalwood.

Racine: Vetiver, Bergamot & Lemon. A classic men's fragrance, inspired by the perfumers visits to Comoro Islands Valleys. Sensual Vetiver, highlighted with Oak Moss, Hesperides and musk. Also forthcoming for Men: Ambre Precieux: Amber, Vanilla & Peru Balsam. This is one you buy for a Man and then share with him....

Eau de Gantier: Blackberry, Verbena, Bergamot & Musk. Elegant French Verbena that graduates to a medley of red fruits & Hesperides. I took this one home.....

Available at Melange apothecary: $105
