L'OBJET Lips Candle
Braise ratingHighly Recommended
A sculpted porcelain pair of lips holding a cognac, rose and leather scent. Most of what you pay for is the vessel, and it stays on the nightstand long after the wax is gone.
A vetted pick, chosen for the Braise catalog on merit, never for payment. Here's what earns it a place and who it's for. How we review

How it rates
How we vetted it
Vetted from L'OBJET's product page for materials, size, burn time and scent. We found no detailed independent reviews, so the brand's description is the main source. We haven't burned this one ourselves.
What works well
The vessel is bisque porcelain, made in Portugal, sculpted as a pair of lips, about 4 inches tall. The scent opens on cognac, coriander and pimento, moves into red currant, plum, rose, jasmine and caramel, and settles on oakmoss, benzoin, leather and musk. It's a vegetable wax blend with about 60 hours of burn time, and it arrives gift-boxed.
Why we chose it
- Sculpted porcelain vessel
- Rich, layered scent
- A keepsake after the wax is gone
- Gift-boxed
In your room
Put it where it catches the light: a nightstand, a dresser, a bookshelf near the bed. Once it's burned down, clean out the porcelain and keep it for rings, matches or nothing at all.

You want the most hours of scent for the money.
Who it's for
Someone who wants one sculptural, slightly cheeky object in the bedroom, or a gift for a partner who loves beautiful things.
Where it fits in the room
Picture it in a Parisian Boudoir room.
The right piece lands better in a room that was planned for the two of you. Start from the Parisian Boudoir look in the Room Designer, set the light and the layout, and see the space come together around it.
