FUSAC likes My Jolie Candle, an irresistible scented candle with a bracelet, ring or necklace hidden inside. What a great concept that will please our female readers (and male readers as well as it’s an excellent gift idea – you can do no wrong if you get a woman a candle with jewelry inside ! !)
This completely new, original idea is in fact the brainchild of two young men: experienced financier Samuel Guez and Victor Van de Rosieren, a young diamond broker. Two minds with one aim: change the conventional idea of gift giving, embark on a unique, fun adventure and use the inimitable French savoir-faire. These two poker fans have invested their love of gaming and the excitement it can bring into creating My Jolie Candle.
My Jolie Candle is the little sister of Pop Up, another line of candles designed by the pair, aimed at women who unashamedly enjoy life and are not afraid to spoil themselves.
What is great about My Jolie Candle :
◆ Every scented candle contains silver jewelry with a Swarovski Elements crystal. You know that you get a piece of jewelry for sure, but you don’t know what it’s going to look like! You just know whether it’s going to be a ring, a bracelet or a necklace (as you choose while you order).
◆ Over 100 different models chosen at random.
◆ Some extra special candles contain gold jewelry with real diamonds worth 250€, 1,000€ or even 5,000€! It’s like the lottery – you just don’t know what you are going to get!! It’s a complete surprise everytime.
How does it work ?
The ring, bracelet or necklace are hidden in the wax and appear when the candle burns to the bottom. All you have to do is snuff out your candle when the jewelry is revealed in the wax then use a pair of tweezers to extract the aluminium foil, let it cool and enjoy your surprise!
For even more fun, My Jolie has designed over 100 different styles that you can give as gifts, collect or swap with friends.
Skilled Spanish craftspeople produce the My Jolie Candles using traditional techniques. The result? 35 hours of happiness from a beautiful 150g candle infused with natural scents to enhance your home, and lovely packaging that’s sure to make an impact… The evenly melting 100% natural vegetable wax has a cotton wick, making it non-toxic.
A community has also been created on Instagram with the hashtag #myjoliesurprise where women post pictures of their candle and the piece of jewelry they found.
Just like « Birchbox » or « My Little Box » that you probably all know by now, the surprise effect is something that is very popular at the moment. It’s very exciting to get a candle and not know what piece of jewelry you are going to get !
My Jolie Candle can be delivered in France and in the UK ! I am sure it has the potential to be a worldwide success !
