Harvey loves taking his mother to Sant Ambroeus in New York to enjoy the famous Principessa cake. Legend has it, The cake was named "Princess Cake" because Swedish princesses were particularly fond of it. We’re particularly fond of it too — not just the taste, but the scent! Its layers of Lemon Sponge Cake, Vanilla Pastry Cream, and Almond Marzipan make us all so happy.
This past Holiday season, we all went to New York together. We stayed at our favorite hotel (The Carlyle) and walked across the road for Sant Ambroeus’ Principessa Cake every day. Sitting with Harvey’s mom, we decided to make a Principessa Candle.
Prinsesstårta is a complex Candle. It has sweet, powdery Almond and sultry spices. As it burns, it releases a creamy whiff of Heliotrope Flowers — reminiscent of Marzipan. Earthy Oakmoss at the heart. And musky Amber at the base. Together, this limited-edition Prinsesstårta Candle is a tribute to the mothers in our family: complex, strong, comforting, and sweet. And you can have as much as you want and you’ll never get fat.

When burning your candle for the first time, allow it to burn for 2 to 3 hours, until the top layer of the wax has completely melted. This will prevent the wax from tunneling around the wick. When burning the candle after the first burn, do not let it burn for over 3 hours at a time.
Ideally, we recommend keeping the wick trimmed to 1/4 inch at all times to prevent the candle from emitting smoke or the wick falling into the wax.
After each burn, see that the wick is centered in the wax. This will also ensure that the glass does not overheat. The wick and flame should never be touching the glass. When approaching the end of the candle, leave ¼ inch of wax unburned and ensure you are not burning the candle for more than 3 hours. The glass can get overheated without the presence of wax and break.
Our candles are packaged in boxes with an FSC certification, which means they were made using materials from responsibly managed forests, including some recycled paper products.

Gorgeous candle
This is my favorite of all the scents I’ve had. It’s lovely, deep and sweet aroma isn’t too feminine, which is perfect for a neutral room in the house. It’s very luxurious.

This is a lovely candle, though it wasn’t quite what I expected after reading the description. I was anticipating a richer, sweeter fragrance—something like a vanilla bean almond cake with a hint of lemon. The scent is actually very mild and subtle, not overpowering at all. If you enjoy gentle, soft fragrances, this could be perfect. However, if you’re looking for a bold, indulgent scent reminiscent of an Italian bakery, this may not be the candle for you.

Subtle Perfection
Yes it’s marzipan and vanilla and cake, but it’s also sneaky masculine. Cologne on a cashmere coat. A holiday tryst. Jude Law circa 2000?
