Altar Scented Candle
- Online Exclusive
- Limited drop

Altar is made for evenings that unfold slowly. A warm, contemplative candle that turns a space into a place of closeness and calm. Spiced clove buds and bay open the scent with gentle depth, softened by floral notes of carnation and ylang-ylang. As the flame settles, guaiac wood and Haitian vetiver warm the room, creating an atmosphere that feels grounding, intimate, and quietly sensual.
Curated for the Valentine’s Drop, Altar is about intimacy beyond words. Light it when the night calls for softness, connection, and presence. When time slows, conversations deepen, and home becomes a shared experience rather than a backdrop.
Housed in Byredo’s signature black glass, this candle is both an object and a mood. Designed to burn for approximately 60 hours, it invites you to linger, to stay, and to savour the moment.

For the Valentine’s Drop, Altar sets the tone for closeness without performance. A scent for slow nights, shared silences, and moments where connection feels effortless. Warm, contemplative, and deeply comforting.
