This limited-edition candle takes its cues from Prinsesstårta, the traditional Swedish princess cake known for its delicate layers of sponge, vanilla pastry cream, and almond marzipan. Created as a nostalgic tribute to the comforting rituals and memories associated with home and family, the fragrance offers a more nuanced interpretation of a classic gourmand scent.
Sweet, powdery almond and warm spices introduce the composition, recalling the distinctive richness of marzipan. As the candle burns, creamy heliotrope lends a soft, floral sweetness, while earthy oakmoss adds depth and contrast. A base of musky amber grounds the fragrance, balancing its confectionery warmth with a more grown-up finish.
The inspiration is personal: Flamingo Estate founder Richard Christiansen's tradition of visiting Sant Ambroeus in New York with his mother to enjoy its famed Principessa cake. Both old-school and modern, the candle translates the pleasure of this familiar ritual into a richly layered and evocative home fragrance.
