I want to briefly revisit illustrator Marin Montagut’s wonderful summer home/studio, and then pay a visit to his new Paris boutique. 

When shopping for souvenirs takes too much of your travel time and thinking of what to give your loved ones simply happens to require an excessive amount of effort and energy from you, a safe yet elegant solution is to give them candle gifts. We’re not talking about ordinary bougies here as our recommended gift shop is none other than the Royal candle and wax makers, named Cire Trudon. While you can expect the classic candles to be sold here, you could also opt for modern types of flambeaus, most of which are scented and come in different hues as well.

Get more info on Cire Trudon as well as a few pieces of advice recommended by this Parisian store below:  

In order to make the most of your candle, we recommend burning it until the whole surface is liquid, in order to free the wick and ensure perfect burning when it is next used… Do not leave your candle to burn for more than three consecutive hours, in order to preserve its perfume… Leave it to cool down completely before using it again and remove the burnt part of the wick. To prevent any smoke when you put it out, dip the wick into the wax and take it out again immediately. Arrange it in the centre ready for relighting.
