Product Insights
Rooted in the founder's botanical heritage—her ancestor elected to the French Académie des Sciences—and inspired by Capri trips with her sister, No.13 Nouvelle Vague is a clean-burning soy wax blend candle (50–60 hours) with a scent that opens with synthetic muguet, marine coconut water, and crisp agave, then milky fig and tonka, drying to earthy vetiver and sandalwood. It uses animal-free synthetic musk, a lead-free wick, and a reusable glass jar, meeting evolving clean standards and formulated without BHTs or allergens for a vegan, ethical experience. The strong hot throw rivals paraffin, but buyers find it beautiful yet secondary to No.5, suited for seasonal use; the glass vessel is reusable but requires cleaning, and the scent is also available as eau de parfum and perfume oil for full-room-to-skin layering.

Bringing a springtime Italian-coast mood into your space
Light this candle when you want a rich, refreshing fragrance that Maison Louis Marie describes as evoking spring on the Italian coast — wildflowers, lemons, and sun-washed seaside paths. Its profile blends citrus and coconut water up top with Tuscan fig, tonka, and agave, resting on warm notes of vetiver, amber, and sandalwood. One candle enthusiast on Reddit called No.13 Nouvelle Vague one of their beautiful Maison Louis Marie scents.[1,2,3]
Scenting a room at home
Light this soy wax candle, housed in a glass container, to add fragrance to a room at home. The retailer lists a burning time of 50-60 hours, and its care guidance says to keep burning sessions to 3 hours or less at a time and trim the wick to 3 to 5 mm to preserve the scent.[3]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| No.13 Nouvelle Vague Scented Candle: Choose this if you want a springtime, coastal-inspired fragrance: the scent blends citrus, muguet, coconut water, Tuscan fig, tonka, agave, and base notes of vetiver, amber, and sandalwood, which the brand describes as evoking spring on the Italian coast. It comes in an 8.5 oz soy wax blend with a single wick in a clear glass tumbler, offering an estimated 50 to 60 hours of burn time, and it is a vegan, cruelty-free formula made without parabens, sulfates, or phthalates. To preserve the scent, the maker advises not burning it more than 3 hours in a row and trimming the wick regularly to 3 to 5 mm.[1,3,4] | No. 04 Bois De Balincourt Scented Candle: Choose this if you want a subtle, earthy-woody fragrance for small rooms: reviewers describe the sandalwood, cedarwood, nutmeg, cinnamon, vetiver, and amber blend as gentle and never cloying, and one reviewer found it a near-match to Le Labo Santal 26. The 8.5 oz soy-wax candle burns an estimated 50 to 60 hours, is vegan and cruelty-free with a paraben-, sulfate-, and phthalate-free formula, and its minimalist clear glass jar is praised as gift-ready. Note that occasional reports describe wax arriving with an odd color, which some buyers felt undercut the candle's quality.[5] | No. 04 Bois De Balincourt Diffuser: Choose this if you want an alcohol-free reed diffuser with a woody, romantic scent built on sandalwood and cedarwood, spiced with nutmeg and cinnamon, vetiver, and an amber wood base, in a 250 ml (8.5 oz) glass bottle expected to release fragrance for around three months. One customer describes it as a creamy, clean sandalwood-and-amber scent and, in their perception, a lot like Santal 33 but softer and more feminine; customers also report its fragrance enhances home ambiance. Flipping the black reeds from time to time is the brand's suggested way to refresh the scent.[6,7,8,9] |

User shares their MLM candle collection and praises No.13 Nouvelle Vague as a beautiful scent
Their candles (and frankly their perfume oils) are gorgeous. Other than No. 4 Bois de Balincourt I have No.5 Kandilli and No. 13 Nouvelle Vague. All 3 are beautiful scents but No. 5 is my favorite. The vessels look very beautiful to me as well.
