Les Miserable literary candle is inspired by one of the greatest novels of the 19th century, written in 1862 by Victor Hugo.
It examines the nature of law and grace and tells us a story of the June Rebellion in Paris through the life of Jean Valjean, a victim of society who has been imprisoned for 19 years for stealing a loaf of bread. The author takes us into the Parisian underworld and talks about justice, politics, antimonarchism, religion, and love - romantic and familial.
The scent of Les Miserable book candle was inspired by the most prominent symbol of compassion in the book, of a light that always brings love and hope. It is floral and citrusy, in contrast to the darkness, danger, and sadness our beloved characters are going through.
