THE ARTISTIC COLLABORATION: FIGUE AZUR IN THE COLOURS OF MATISSE

The Figue Azur candle evokes a sunny stroll shaded by Mediterranean fig trees through its generous, milky accord punctuated by tenderly green notes. It is unveiled in an artistic limited edition inspired by the dazzling palette of Henri Matisse. A born painter of happiness and sublime master of colour, Henri Matisse was one of the greatest artistic minds of the 20th century. Guerlain has collaborated with Maison Matisse—an institution founded by one of the painter’s great-grandsons, Jean-Matthieu Matisse—to celebrate the art of happiness. Inspired by Henri Matisse’s work, One Thousand and One Nights, this Maison Matisse precious edition of Figue Azur sees the candle transformed into an exceptional object. Limited edition of 500 candles available worldwide.

MAISON MATISSE EDITION

The jar for the Maison Matisse Edition Figue Azur candle is dressed in white and adorned with a Guerlain-exclusive motif, created by Maison Matisse to exalt the artist’s most iconic forms and colours.

True to its commitment toward a more sustainable world, Guerlain offers a range of eco-designed refills for its scented candles.

A MOTIF CREATED EXCLUSIVELY FOR GUERLAIN

In 1950, Henri Matisse completed his great work, One Thousand and One Nights, a true celebration of happiness through colour. This multi-panel piece became part of the artist’s second period, during which he arranged gouache-painted paper strips as if sculpting colour itself. Faithfully inspired by this work, the motif developed by Maison Matisse exclusively for Guerlain is designed as an olfactory portrait in the colours of southern France. Hearts, blossoms and leaves abound in this vibrant composition that wraps around the jar for the Figue Azur candle, all in tribute to the Mediterranean air once beloved by Henri Matisse.

MAISON MATISSE

Founded in 2019 by some members of the Henri Matisse’s family with the aim of celebrating, passing on and sharing the artist’s values, Maison Matisse presents collections of accessories and furniture by emerging and renowned contemporary designers. As a trailblazer of Fauvism, Henri Matisse favoured large flat tints of pure, vivid colour. “Drawn directly into colour”, as the artist puts it, his outstanding paintings and paper collages exude an irresistible joie de vivre.
