In Malagasy, the national language of Madagascar, "ilo" means "oil obtained from a plant". This sacred word also represents luminosity, and fits perfectly with the values promoted by Emilie and Hoby. Working together to create scented candles in a variety of shapes, the two women aim to spread gentleness, calm, hope and comfort.

* This wax does not evaporate. We therefore recommend placing the candle on a heat-resistant tray to collect the wax and protect the surfaces.
- We recommend cutting the charred wicks from your candle before relighting it. The flames will be lower and give off less heat, so your candle will burn longer and cleaner. It will also prevent the pot from blackening.
- Don't burn for more than 4 hours at a time. Extinguish before the wax is completely liquid, to prevent the wicks from tilting to one side and heating the container wall.
- Place the candle out of direct sunlight (heat and sunlight can change the chemical composition of the oils and fragrances in candles, deteriorating their quality).
- Be sure to extinguish the candle before leaving the room, and allow the wax to cool before relighting or moving it.
