The rhythm takes over the night. In the discothèque, records spin endlessly as partygoers move closer together on leather sofas, their encounters growing increasingly intimate. Morning is the last thing on anyone’s mind. Leather, labdanum, and rose open the scent with a dark, glossy intensity. Saffron brings the heat, mandarin flashes beneath the lights, and jasmine drifts through the room like perfume left behind on someone else’s jacket. Finally, patchouli takes over the dance floor, wrapped in vanilla and smoke.

Boogie Bougie pours the candles by hand in small batches in her studio in the north of Antwerp, selecting the best ingredients to make each candle with care and attention. The candles are made from 100% eco-friendly soy wax and locally sourced ingredients and are packaged in recyclable aluminum containers that can be given a second life after burning. The candles burn for around 60 hours. The candles take you on a journey through other worlds.
