A vibrant nose of green orchard fruits, lime and freshly cut stems, blended with chalk, white woods and gentle musk.
Fragrance Notes:
Top: green orchard fruits, lime, cut flower stems, white grapefruit
Heart: dover chalk, sea salt, jasmine

Scent family: Fresh, green, citrus, fruity
Scent Description: zesty, energetic and refreshing
The Landscape
Perched on the rolling hills of the Loire Valley, Sancerre is defined by its chalky soils, once part of an ancient seabed. That mineral edge, alongside cool air and citrus-bright fruit, shapes the region’s unmistakable freshness.
The Culture
Simple and seasonal, shaped by a cooler climate and the rhythm of the vines. Long lunches built around what’s local, goat’s cheese, fresh bread, a glass of something cold. A gentle breeze moves through the hills, keeping everything fresh, lifting the air, and carrying that clean, mineral brightness into everyday life.
The Ritual
Light this for moments that call for freshness and clarity, lifting the air, sharpening the space, and bringing everything back into focus.

Care
Never leave burning candles unattended. As the vessel is made from metal (brass) it may get hot. Do not place onto anything flammable. Place candle onto a coaster when in use. Do no touch when lit. Allow to cool before touching. Keep away from children.
See our candle care guide for more information
A note on craftmanship
Every Ouverture London candle is hand-poured in small batches using natural, undyed waxes and high concentrations of fine fragrance - housed in our signature pure brass vessels. Because we embrace thoughtful, preservative-free materials and artisanal methods, you may notice subtle variations from piece to piece.
This might include gentle changes in wax colour, a softly uneven surface, or a natural patina forming on the brass over time. These are not flaws - they’re quiet signatures of craftsmanship. Each candle is unique by design, and none of these natural shifts affect the quality or beauty of the burn.
For our curated edit pieces Each pieces the same care and intention that shapes our own collections.
We work with makers and objects that share our sensibility, thoughtful materials, considered production, and a quiet sense of atmosphere. Many of these pieces are produced in small batches or by hand, which means subtle variations are to be expected.
You may notice gentle differences in finish, tone, or texture from one piece to another. These are not imperfections, but part of the character of the object itself, shaped by process, material, and time.

I just received this candle. It’s the perfect scent for this time of year - fresh and zesty, but with real depth and complexity. It looks really chic on my bookshelf. Love it.
