Charred — Reverent — Piquant

Originally, the Canal Saint-Martin was created to help the growing population of Paris avoid disease.

It was an effort of purification much like the ancient origins of Nag Champa: clearing energy for meditation in Hindu and Buddhist temples and ashrams of India and Nepal.

In Latin it is “solvitur ambulando”, meaning, it is solved by walking.

The French refer to flânerie: seemingly aimless lounging or strolling.

Coconut wax blend with a 100% cotton wick 

For optimal burning

Before burning, trim wick to 1/4". This will avoid soot. Burn for 2-4 hours every time, allowing the wax to liquify from edge to edge. Never leave a burning candle unattended and never try to move a candle while burning. 

About 

Each fragrance composition is created to serve as an open prompt, meant to provoke associative leaps and interpretation.

Mar Mar Los Angeles has refined their identity without relying on logos; designing with restraint. An earthy wax, a pop of color. Labels that disappear into the background — subtle and intentional. Their packaging is 100% recyclable, a small reflection of our desire to leave as little behind. 

MAR MAR Los Angeles is partnered with Collective Altadena to raise funds in support of those impacted by the Los Angeles wildfires of January 2025. Beyond immediate relief, they hope this effort contributes to education and long-term infrastructure that can help prevent future devastation.
