Cyprès by Rigaud: The Nec Plus Ultra of Scented Candles {Holiday Shopping Ideas & Tips - $75 or Less} {Fragrant Reading}

Cypres Rigaud.jpg
As we already said before in our review of Paco Rabanne pour Homme, Cyprès de Rigaud is one of the most popular candles in France. Its scent is very forest-y, balsamic. An article in the Times relates its history and how Jackie Kennedy used to love to use it to scent the White House.......
"I mention Jackie because were she still alive, I have no doubt that right about now she would begin lighting her beloved Rigaud candles to ward off the winter gloom. Visitors to the White House during the Kennedy years often remarked upon the delicious scent wafting throughout the public and private quarters emanating from vast numbers of distinctive green candles burning in silver-bottomed glass jars. This was Rigaud Cypres, the most classic of Rigaud’s candles."

The two latest additions to the Rigaud candle range are Garrigue and Lavande Sauvage. Cyprès (1950) is the first one in the line and remains a perennial favorite.
