Candle (Pepper & Silk)
Come To Your Senses.
Housed in a distinct, gloss-black stainless steel vase with its own resting plinth and snuff-lid, this hand-poured candle is a sculptural statement of light & scent. Drenched in sensuous Pepper & Silk, a bespoke RAAD® fragrance crafted in Grasse, France, designed to stimulate your senses and nurture positive emotions & memory connections.
This luxury soy candle becomes an interior accessory creating a sanctuary of hypnotic ambiance & calm. When lit, the polished metal vessel transforms into a mesmerising lantern, with a warm glow dancing within the internal metal walls. Once the final flame has burned, the story continues - with the vase being repurposed as an avant-garde wine glass.

RAAD® collaborates with perfumers from Grasse, France to craft unique fragrances using traditional techniques. The perfumes are then brought to NZ to be added to our formulations. Grasse is the renowned perfume capital of the world known for quality ingredients and notable craftsmanship. With a rich history dating back to the 18th century, the hilltop village and the surrounding landscapes are home to some of the world's most prestigious perfume houses.
RAAD® candles are made from natural soy wax and bespoke French fragrance. They are sophisticated, layered in complexity and use premium ingredients with deep, slow-release base notes. Unlike mass-market candles that rely on instant, overpowering scents, our premium candles are designed to fill a space gradually, becoming warm and more indulgent over time.
Each candle is part of a small batch run, hand-poured in NZ.
