Candle Tanneur Assia
Candle Tanneur Assia
Côté Bougie
Rose Oud - rose, oud, amber, musk, sandalwood. A classical Moroccan attar. The rose comes off fresh and faintly green; the oud beneath it warm and resinous; the amber and sandalwood settle slow and dry. Built around the rose harvest each May in the Dadès Valley, where damask roses are picked at dawn and distilled the same day.
The Assia is a tall, narrow raffia-sleeved candle from Côté Bougie's Marrakech atelier. The raffia is crocheted by hand by the women's cooperatives Côté Bougie has worked with for years, fitted over a recycled-glass vessel and finished with a small leather tag stitched at the seam.
Soy wax, Italian cotton wicks, fragrances composed in Grasse.
Four sizes, from a small votive to a wide multi-wick large enough to scent a room. The raffia is left in its natural undyed colour.
Exclusive to Australia.

About Côté Bougie
In 2003, Saida Kadiri left a career decorating children's bedrooms in Casablanca and started making candles — first for her own house, with whatever pots and pans she had. Two years later her son Omar joined her, and Côté Bougie has been a family business in Marrakech ever since. The candles are hand-poured: soy wax, Italian cotton wicks, recycled glass. The fragrances are composed in Grasse and chosen to read as Morocco — citrus, spice, cedar. The vessels, including the olive-green ceramics of Tamegroute, are made by Moroccan artisans.
Exclusive to Australia.
