Viognier: a white that smells of apricot and flowers

Among white grape varieties, Viognier has a particularly expressive profile. It is this generous personality that Maison Tchin Tchin translates here into a home fragrance, without seeking to literally reproduce the scent of wine.

Apricot and quince set the tone from the very first notes. Then come honeysuckle, osmanthus, and davana, before a smoother finish where exotic fruits and acacia honey meet. The result is fruity, floral, and indulgent, with a sunny quality that clearly distinguishes it from the other fragrances in the collection.

A generous interpretation of white wine that perfectly sums up the approach of Maison Tchin Tchin: borrowing the vocabulary of tasting to tell the story of wine in a different way.

Why we love the artisanal Viognier scented candle:

Viognier opens with a very fruity duo of apricot and quince. The heart then becomes more floral with honeysuckle and osmanthus, accompanied by davana, before exotic fruits and acacia honey add a final sweet and indulgent touch.

This is what makes Viognier a particularly distinctive fragrance in the line: less amber-like than Chardonnay, less fresh than Sauvignon, it emphasizes ripe fruit and indulgent notes without veering into a sugary, pastry-like scent.

Discover this unique fragrance among our selection of scented candles and home fragrances made in France.

A bottle of wine that changes life

The connection to wine goes beyond the fragrance. Maison Tchin Tchin crafts its containers from genuine recycled wine bottles, repurposed to hold natural soy wax and a 100% cotton wick.

The fragrance itself is made in Grasse and formulated without CMR substances. The cork cap and recyclable kraft paper packaging round out a product in which the world of wine is present down to the finest details.

If you love the world of white grape varieties but are looking for a more amber-scented and enveloping fragrance, be sure to check out the Chardonnay scented candle as well, where vanilla, sandalwood, and cedar replace the fruity and honeyed notes of Viognier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Viognier candle really smell like white wine?
No. Like the other Maison Tchin Tchin fragrances, Viognier does not seek to replicate the scent of a glass of wine or that of alcohol.

Instead, the brand draws inspiration from the aromatic profile associated with the grape variety to create a fragrance composition. In the case of Viognier, this results in a very expressive fragrance centered on apricot, quince, and flowers, complemented by notes of exotic fruits and acacia honey.

It is, therefore, a home fragrance in its own right: the wine provides the inspiration and the vocabulary, not the literal scent.
What does the Viognier candle smell like?
Viognier is one of the fruitiest and most indulgent fragrances in the Maison Tchin Tchin line. Apricot is a particularly prominent note in its composition, accompanied by quince and then a more floral bouquet featuring, notably, honeysuckle and osmanthus.

The base notes of exotic fruits and acacia honey then lend a rounder, smoother quality. Maison Tchin Tchin describes the fragrance as crisp and apricot-like, with floral and spicy accents.

If you enjoy fruity perfumes but aren’t looking for something very fresh and citrusy or a very woody composition, Viognier is likely one of the most appealing options in the line.
What is the difference between Viognier and Chardonnay?
Although both are inspired by white grape varieties, their aromas are very different.
Viognier emphasizes apricot, quince, flowers, and honey. Its character is therefore more fruity, sunny, and indulgent.

Chardonnay, on the other hand, offers a more amber-hued and enveloping profile: orange blossom and cinnamon give way to vanilla, followed by a base of patchouli, creamy sandalwood, and cedar.

To put it simply: choose Viognier if you like yellow fruits and flowers; choose Chardonnay if you prefer vanilla, woody notes, and more amber-like aromas.
How can I make the Viognier candle last as long as possible?
Maison Tchin Tchin estimates a burn time of approximately 65 hours for its 250-gram size. To ensure even melting, the brand recommends allowing the entire surface of the wax to melt during the first burn.

For subsequent uses, aim for burning sessions of about 2 to 3 hours and trim the wick to about 5 mm before each lighting. These simple steps help prevent the flame from getting too large and promote more even burning.

As with any candle, it must, of course, be placed on a stable surface, away from flammable materials, and never left burning unattended.
