From the moment it’s lit, the magic lifts into the air and follows the air currents around the home and lingers, even after the flame is snuffed.
The original and most famous fragrance, Cypres, was created to be a signature scent of a very fashionable gift shop on the Rive Droit (Right Bank) of Paris in the mid twentieth century. This is the scent that became unforgettable to all who shopped in this boutique. One of these patrons was Diana Vreeland (need I say more?!) of Vogue Magazine. She absolutely fell in love with the fragrance and brought it back to burn in the Vogue offices of New York, during the 1950′s. Notoriety continued when Jacqueline Kennedy discovered the burning fragrances in the office of the French Ambassador in New York and burned it in the White House. It was here, that many people of distinction were introduced to this exquisite way to scent their homes. It became well connected to all those “in the know” such as politicians, entertainers, fashion designers, celebrities and high society.
RIGAUD FRAGRANCE SELECTION:- Cypres (green): Travel into the heart of the Mediterranean forest and bring back the magic balm that will unlock the soul of your house! A refined harmony that is a blend of the aromatic sweetness of lavender, the woody, crisp notes of pine needles, and the heady aroma of cedar wood.
- Vesuve (orange): With Vesuve, we leave for an expedition to the centre of The Earth. A fabulous journey loaded with rare and precious essences such as amber and incense. The woody notes of cedar and vetiver bolster the heat of the perfume; the warm spicy notes of cinnamon and cumin bring personality. The still-warm lava gives off smoked notes which are found in the perfume.
- Bois Precieux (brown): A warm, comfortable fragrance that serenely carries you away. As divine as it is sensual, Bois Précieux diffuses an agreeably spicy fragrance with a uncommon harmony of patchouli and teak to bring a touch of exoticism into the house!
- Gardenia (white): A charming fragrance that is a delight for the olfactory sense, with the gardenia flower as belle of the ball! A voluptuous, intoxicating floral bouquet, blending the scents of white flowers with the fresh, green notes of Provence rose. A timeless fragrance that envelops you in sweetness!
- Chevrefeuille (blue): A sweet, fragrant, floral, honeysuckle aroma will wisk you to a Japanese garden. This fragrance has been reintroduced and released exclusively for the American market.
- Cythere (red): A wayward, mischievous fragrance that distracts you from more serious matters and takes you along on a voyage of gourmandise… A symphony wherein fruity notes reveal hints of jasmine, delicate and transparent, on a slightly musky backdrop.
- Tournesol (yellow): A pervasive memory of summer… An unexpected meeting between the radiant sunflower and essence of Blackcurrant, with its slightly fruity accents, to bring light into the home.
- Lilas (light purple): All the tenderness of a lovingly gathered armful of flowers that announces the arrival of Spring! A remembrance of childhood full of all the delicacy of lilac flowers, the green freshness of lily of the valley and a touch of the powdered roundness of ylang-ylang. A scent of emotion!
- Jardin d’Orient (dark purple): A walk through the imaginary gardens of the Orient in search of a magical and perfumed nature… The scents enter as through an open window, blending deep woody notes, the subtlety of patchouli, and a restive, penetrating chord formed by honey and musk.
- Une Rose (pink): A breath of emotion… Like an airy caress, Une Rose de Rigaud, majestic yet furtive, pervades the air with divinely velvety softness. A powdery floral harmony builds on Damascus rose, the quintessence of femininity.
- Jasmin (light green): The natural elegance of a transparent, luminous fragrance with an astounding range of facets! Beneath the freshness of essence of bitter orange and the delicacy of jasmine petals is a heart of enveloping sensuality, expressed by the soft warmth of orange blossom.

What makes Rigaud so special?
- Since its founding in Paris in 1852, the house of Rigaud, one of the oldest perfumeries in the world, has taken special care in the choice preparation of its ingredients, to create home fragrances that are as carefully crafted as perfumes for the body.
- Each scent, developed from natural ingredients, is a true composition, with its top notes, middle notes or “heart,” and base notes forming a sophisticated olfactory pyramid.
- Rigaud soft wax is patented and recognized as the highest-quality wax in the world of candles. It is the only soft wax that guarantees perfect consistency of the fragrance. Its texture allows the scent to be released even when the candle is not burning.
- Once liquefied, Rigaud wax burns slowly and regularly, and without forming an unsightly crater.
- Rigaud wax is of mineral origin and the natural fragrance essences were developed by renowned “noses.” The ingredients used in formulating this wax are biodegradable and thus entirely respectful of the environment.
- Tailor made and manufactured in France. Every measure is taken, from the beginning to the end of the manufacturing process, to ensure quality products. The laboratory tests each batch of fragrance concentrate to guarantee consistency and perfect harmony between the wax, the fragrance, and the wick. All raw materials are tested and checked before, during and post, manufacturing.
- Particular attention is paid to the finishing of the candles. Each candle is inspected. Each glass container and each snuffer cap is hand-wiped. The ribbons on the glasses and boxes are placed and tied by hand, in the tradition of the great French luxury house.
