What if Chardonnay became a perfume?

Forget the smell of an open bottle of wine: the Chardonnay candle does not smell like wine. Maison Tchin Tchin focuses instead on the aromas used to describe a grape variety during a tasting, then translates them into the language of perfumery.

For Chardonnay, the house draws inspiration from those complex and elegant white wines, well-rounded with their vanilla and slightly toasted accents. Orange blossom and Ceylon cinnamon meet vanilla, creamy sandalwood, cedar, and patchouli to create an amber, warm, and enveloping fragrance.

A meeting between oenology and perfumery that perfectly encapsulates the world of Maison Tchin Tchin: telling the story of wine differently, without pouring a single drop.

Chardonnay: round, with notes of vanilla and a hint of toast

Le Chardonnay est l’un des cépages blancs les plus célèbres au monde. Maison Tchin Tchin s’est notamment intéressée à son expression bourguignonne, où il peut développer rondeur, élégance, notes de fruits blancs, d’agrumes, de vanille et des nuances légèrement toastées.

La fragrance reprend cette richesse sous la forme d’une véritable pyramide olfactive : fleur d’oranger et cannelle de Ceylan en tête ; vanille, labdanum et opoponax au cœur ; patchouli, santal crémeux et cèdre de Virginie en fond.

The result, therefore, is not a fresh, lemony candle, but a more rounded, smooth, and enveloping fragrance—one that can be found in both the candle and the Chardonnay fragrance diffuser—which is particularly pleasant when you’re looking to create a warm atmosphere.

A bottle of wine that doesn't end up in the trash

The story doesn't end with the fragrance. To make its candles, Maison Tchin Tchin repurposes wine bottles, giving an object destined for the trash a new purpose.

Inside: natural, additive-free soy wax, a 100% cotton wick, and a fragrance crafted in Grasse that is free of CMRs and phthalates. The candle is then topped with a cork cap and presented in recyclable kraft cardboard packaging.

It was precisely this blend of upcycling, French craftsmanship, and wine culture that inspired us to include Maison Tchin Tchin in our collection of candles and home fragrances at Kiplé.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Chardonnay candle actually smell like wine?
No—and that’s an important distinction. Maison Tchin Tchin doesn’t seek to replicate the scent of a glass of Chardonnay. Instead, the brand draws on the aromatic vocabulary used in wine tasting and translates it using ingredients from the world of perfumery.
In a Chardonnay, you can detect notes of white fruit, citrus, vanilla, and subtle toasty hints. This candle captures that essence with orange blossom, Ceylon cinnamon, vanilla, sandalwood, cedar, and patchouli. The result is a genuine home fragrance inspired by Chardonnay—not a candle that smells like alcohol or wine.
What does the Chardonnay candle smell like?
Chardonnay is one of Maison Tchin Tchin’s warmer, rounder, and more enveloping fragrances. Its top notes blend orange blossom and Ceylon cinnamon, followed by a heart dominated by vanilla, labdanum, and opoponax. Creamy sandalwood, Virginia cedar, and patchouli then add further depth.
If you love vanilla and woody scents but are looking for something more sophisticated than a simple “vanilla” candle, this is probably one of the most accessible Maison Tchin Tchin fragrances.
Why does the candle holder look like a wine bottle?
Because it really was one. Maison Tchin Tchin uses recycled wine bottles to make its candle containers. The bottle thus takes on a new purpose instead of simply becoming glass waste.
This choice isn’t just about aesthetics: it directly reflects the brand’s concept, which builds its entire world around the intersection of wine, design, and fragrance.
That's also what makes this candle such a great gift for a wine lover: the playful touch goes beyond just the scent's name.
How long does a Maison Tchin Tchin Chardonnay candle burn?
The candle contains 250 g of natural soy wax, and Maison Tchin Tchin estimates a burn time of approximately 65 hours.
To get the most out of it, be sure to trim the wick regularly and allow the wax surface to melt sufficiently during the first few uses to ensure even burning. As with any candle, it should be used on a stable surface, away from drafts, and always under supervision.
