Clue Perfumery With the Candlestick

Product Overview

With the Candlestick by Clue Perfumery is an aromatic fragrance that explores the atmosphere of flickering candlelight, smoky incense and warm resins. Dark, evocative and beautifully unconventional, it blends spiced cherry with sacred incense and the distinctive scent of warm candle wax to create a fragrance that feels intimate, mysterious and deeply atmospheric.

The fragrance opens with rich cherry accented by the spicy warmth of cinnamon leaf. As it develops, incense rises alongside labdanum and castoreum, creating a resinous heart with smoky, leathery nuances. In the dry down, warm candle wax and soft musk recreate the comforting scent of a recently extinguished candle, leaving behind a smooth, gently smoky finish. The overall effect is resinous, spicy and quietly hypnotic.

What Does With the Candlestick Smell Like?

With the Candlestick opens with a dark cherry note that feels rich rather than sugary. Cinnamon leaf introduces a dry, aromatic spice that immediately gives the fragrance warmth and character.

As it settles, incense becomes the defining feature. Smoky and meditative, it is joined by sticky labdanum, which adds amber-like richness, while castoreum contributes subtle leathery depth. Together they create the impression of glowing embers, polished wood and lingering incense smoke.

In the dry down, candle wax becomes surprisingly realistic, capturing the soft, warm scent of melted wax rather than sweetness. Musk wraps everything in a gentle skin-like warmth, allowing the wax and smoky resins to linger beautifully. The result is an aromatic fragrance that feels unusual, intimate and remarkably evocative.
