The TALMA house
A house of candles, a little bit astrologer.
TALMA was born of a simple idea: to make astrology a ritual you bring into your home, and no longer just something you read. The flame on one side, the screen on the other, and a horoscope that speaks of you without taking itself too seriously.
- Scents from Grasse
- 12 scents composed in Grasse, the city of perfumers: one per sign, from orange blossom to driftwood.
- Vegetable wax
- Vegetable wax and a cotton wick, for about 50 hours of flame.
- Poured in France
- Each candle is poured into a glass tinted in the colours of its element, then sealed with wax.
- Made to last
- The glass is kept and refilled: each refill gives it new wax and gives you 2 months of TALMA+.
