Description
The Leather Votive brings (MALIN+GOETZ)'s most sophisticated candle scent into the most accessible format - a 67g, 25-hour burn that makes it easy to discover, easy to gift, and easy to place in the spaces a full 255g candle might not reach. The same unexpected arc applies: Lotus Flower, Pepper, and Clove open with an elegant, slightly surprising freshness, the Muguet, Orchid, and Green Violet heart brings muted florals that mirror the smoothness of fine leather, and the Leather, Cedarwood, and Sandalwood base settles in with a warm, nostalgic persistence that stays with the room long past the burn.
A candle that makes any space feel considered, in a size that makes trying it effortless. Hand-poured with a vegetable wax blend and cotton wick.
Who's It For
Anyone drawn to the Leather scent but wanting a lower-commitment introduction before the full candle, anyone who needs the scent in a smaller space like a bathroom, bedroom, or study, or anyone looking for a gift that feels genuinely elevated without being obvious about it. Leather Votive is also a natural companion to the 255g candle - the same scent, wherever it's needed next.
Key Benefits
- A sophisticated try-before-you-commit format. Leather is a bold candle choice - the votive is the ideal way to discover how it lives in your specific space before investing in the full 255g.
- Refined and warm in smaller spaces. The smooth Leather accord and woody base are particularly effective in bathrooms and bedrooms - spaces that benefit from a warm, intimate scent without the full projection of a large candle.
- Genuinely impressive gift at any occasion. Leather Votive says something about the giver - it's the choice that signals real taste rather than defaulting to the expected.
- 25-hour complete scent arc. Top Notes through Base Notes fully expressed across the votive's burn - the unexpected floral opening, the smooth leather heart, the lingering woody base.
- Vegetable wax blend, cotton wick. Clean burn, even diffusion, minimal soot.
Scent Profile
- Top Notes: Lotus Flower, Pepper, Clove
- Middle Notes: Muguet, Orchid, Green Violet
- Base Notes: Leather, Cedarwood, Sandalwood
The votive opens with the same quiet elegance as the full candle: Lotus Flower fills the space with a clean, slightly aquatic freshness, Pepper adds dry heat, and Clove contributes warm aromatic spice - an opening that is distinctive and refined rather than immediately obvious.
The heart develops softly and beautifully in the votive's smaller space: Muguet brings its delicate floral lift, Orchid adds soft creaminess, and Green Violet keeps the middle notes cool and fresh - together mirroring the smoothness of fine leather with a lightness that suits the votive format particularly well.
The base is where the Leather accord arrives and lingers: smooth and warm rather than heavy, supported by the dry warmth of Cedarwood and the creamy depth of Sandalwood. Even in a 67g vessel, this base note combination fills a room with a lasting, nostalgic presence.
Key Ingredients
- Leather Accord - The smooth, warm Base Note accord that gives this votive its defining character. Intimate and nostalgic in even a small burn, it fills a space with a refined warmth that is entirely its own.
- Lotus Flower - The unexpected Top Note that opens the votive with clean, aquatic elegance - the element that consistently surprises people encountering Leather for the first time and sets the tone for what follows.
- Muguet (Lily of the Valley) - A delicate, clean Middle Note floral that mirrors the smoothness of leather and gives the votive's heart its lightness and gender-neutral appeal.
- Cedarwood and Sandalwood - Warm, complementary woody Base Notes that support the Leather accord and give the votive its lasting room presence. Together they ensure the scent stays beautifully in a space long after the 25-hour burn is complete.
- Green Violet - A cool, leafy Middle Note that keeps the heart fresh and prevents the composition from feeling too heavy or too dense in a smaller votive vessel.
How To Use
Trim the wick to 6mm (1/4") before each use. Allow the votive to burn for at least 1-2 hours on the first use until the wax pool reaches the vessel's edges. Do not burn for more than 3 hours at a time. Place on a heat-resistant, non-flammable surface away from drafts and out of reach of children and pets. Discontinue use when 1.3cm (1/2") of wax remains. For the complete Leather home and personal fragrance experience, pair with the 9oz Leather Candle and the Leather EDP or Perfume Oil.
Why MASC Recommends This
Leather Votive is MASC's recommendation for the customer who isn't sure yet - the one who has smelled the EDP or the full candle and is intrigued but not committed. The votive is the perfect bridge: enough burn time to really experience how Leather lives in a space, at a size and investment that makes trying it easy. And like the full candle, this is a gift that consistently earns the question - what is that?
