Louis Vuitton has just made it a lot easier to carry candles from room to room.
The luxury brand has announced that it will release a€175 ($185 US) set of four candles scented by perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud on November 5. Each scent was inspired by nature and comes in a white ceramic pot, designed by Marc Newson.
Each candle also features a camel-colored strap, which is made from the same natural leather used for classic Louis Vuitton handbags.
According to a press release Louis Vuitton provided to INSIDER, these straps, as well as the ceramic pots, were designed by Newson to look like "outfits" for each candle.
While the packaging looks chic, it's also functional. The gold lid that comes with each pot can be used as a coaster, and the leather straps move so that the candles can be carried more easily, almost like a purse.
And because each candle features identical packaging, different color wicks are used to differentiate each scent.
Each scent created by Belletrud, a perfumer who first worked with the brand in 2012 to create its signature perfumes, was inspired by nature scenes found throughout the four seasons.
The L'Air du Jardin candle, for example, was inspired by the spring scent of "the first rosebuds from the garden," according to the press release. The Feuilles d'Or candle, however, is meant to smell like "scorched underbrush that permeates clothes during a walk in the woods," which seems appropriate for the fall.
For the winter, the Dehors Il Neige candle is scented like "the magic of snowflakes as they fall," and those who are missing summer weather can light the Île Blanche scent, which was inspired by "the warm island sun steeped in a veil of white cotton."
The candles will be available from November 5 on the Louis Vuitton website here, and at select Louis Vuitton boutiques.
