The Making

Dirty Swirl 176 begins with a custom 3D-printed master, developed in-house by Élevé and shared with our ceramic partner to ensure every vessel is produced to exact specification. Each matte ceramic vessel in Butter Yellow is cast from this master, creating a form that is consistent, considered, and designed to remain part of your space long after the final burn.

Once the vessel is complete, the candle takes form.

Dirty Swirl 176 is poured using a coconut and apricot wax blend at a 10% fragrance concentration. The composition is built around contrast, where richness and warmth meet unexpected depth.

Dark fruit, aged rum, and warm spice create the opening, with ripe plum, wild fig, cardamom, and aromatic notes unfolding into a fragrance that feels indulgent without becoming sweet. Golden honey softens the composition, while tobacco and sandalwood bring a smooth, refined warmth beneath the surface.

As the fragrance settles, cedarwood, amber, patchouli, and damp oakmoss emerge, adding an earthy character that gives the scent its signature edge. The result is a layered composition where sweetness meets smoke, softness meets depth, and warmth meets something beautifully untamed.

The fragrance underwent 176 days of maceration, allowing the wax and fragrance composition to mature, soften, and settle into its final expression. A process built around patience, giving every layer time to become more balanced, more complex, and more intentional.

Each candle is cured for 14 days, allowing the wax and fragrance to fully bind. This supports a steady, even burn and a gradual release designed to unfold slowly throughout the room.

The finished candle is housed in a matte ceramic vessel intended to remain part of your space long after the final burn. When the candle reaches its end, the vessel may be returned through the Élevé Continuum program to be cleaned, refilled, and prepared for its next life.

Dirty Swirl 176 is made with intention.

Built on contrast.
Designed to linger.
Created for evenings that refuse to be rushed.

Care & Use

Preparing Your Space Place your candle on a flat, heat-resistant surface. Use a tray or coaster to protect delicate materials such as wood or stone. Keep away from flammable objects. Always keep out of reach of children and pets.

First Burn Allow the wax to melt fully across the surface during the first burn. This may take up to four hours. A full melt pool on the first burn prevents tunnelling and supports an even burn over time.

While Burning Do not burn for longer than four hours at a time. Never leave a lit candle unattended. Do not move the candle while burning or while the wax is hot. Keep away from drafts and airflow.

After Each Use Extinguish gently. A snuffer is recommended to avoid wax splatter. Allow the wax to cool completely before handling. Trim the wick to 3–5mm before relighting to maintain a clean, steady flame.

When to Stop Discontinue use when approximately 5mm of wax remains or when the wick base becomes visible.

Storage Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Story

For moments when everything else feels too loud.

Some fragrances are defined by a single impression. Others reveal themselves slowly.

Dirty Swirl 176 opens with a vibrant blend of tobacco, golden honey, warm spice, and fresh citrus. The first impression is bright and inviting, with honey softening the richness of tobacco while spice adds warmth and complexity.

As the fragrance settles, the heart reveals a deeper character. Tobacco and sandalwood create a smooth, woody foundation that feels polished, intimate, and quietly magnetic.

The dry-down brings the composition into balance with amber, tonka bean, patchouli, and lingering honey. Warm, resinous, and grounded, the final impression feels like a beautifully worn space filled with character.

Dirty Swirl 176 is built around contrast.

The softness of honey.
The depth of tobacco.
The warmth of woods.

The fragrance underwent 176 days of maceration, allowing each layer to mature, soften, and settle into its final expression.

A process created around patience.

Because the most memorable things are given time.
