Moroccan Rose
In short: Moroccan Rose is a rosy floral luxury soy candle composed by master perfumer Bernhard Winkler. It smells of a modern, fresh rose brightened with lemon and black pepper, warmed by frankincense, amber and musk. A classic rose made lively rather than sweet. 14oz, about 80 hours of burn time, hand-poured in small batches in Texas. $58.
Best for: rose lovers and anyone who wants an elegant floral. A natural gift for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and anniversaries. Lovely in bedrooms, bathrooms and dressing rooms; ideal for spring and romantic evenings, and year-round.
Composed by Bernhard Winkler, Master Perfumer with six decades of fragrance, formerly of Symrise and Firmenich. Moroccan Rose is structured like a perfume, not a candle: a true note pyramid that unfolds as it burns, for people who read the notes before the name.
Fragrance Family: Rosy Floral / Aromatic Floral
Top: Lemon, Geranium, Black Pepper
Mid: Moroccan Rose, Palmarosa, Vetiver
Dry: Frankincense, Amber, Musk
Beginning with a lively burst of brightness, Moroccan Rose marries the citrus zest of Lemon with the green facets of Geranium, all lifted by the refined spice of Black Pepper that adds a contemporary twist.
Upon the fragrance heart, Moroccan Rose takes center stage, enhanced by the rosy green elements of Palmarosa and the earthy depth of Vetiver. By the time the scent settles, resinous Frankincense envelopes the drydown, while a smooth veil of Musk and Amber linger, wrapping the composition in a soft luminescence.
This unique reimagining of the classic rose balances freshness and florals with understated sensuality that is vibrant, polished and unmistakably refined.

This is the most upscale candle I’ve ever had! The smell is long lasting and the design is spectacular! Can’t wait yo buy more!!
This candle smells absolutely amazing! You can definitely smell the rose, but it has a lot of other smells that go along with it! Think upscale, refined rose! What are the best smelling candles I’ve ever had!
I’m honestly obsessed with this candle. The Moroccan Rose scent is so beautiful and natural, it makes my whole space feel warm and cozy. I just love it so much!
Moroccan Rose is soft, floral, and so beautifully fresh without ever feeling overpowering. It makes my whole room smell amazing and instantly creates such a cozy, relaxing atmosphere
The name first caught my attention because it reminded me of Sting’s “Desert Rose.” I got it for my wife because she loves rose scents, but apparently I bought myself a candle too 😂. Floral, warm, elegant, and thankfully not “grandma’s perfume drawer” rose.
I am addicted to this fragrance.
Forget everything you think you know about rose scents. Moroccan Rose is fresh, spicy, and unexpectedly edgy. That Frankincense and Amber drydown is pure magic.
This candle is perfection. The scent strikes that rare balance—beautifully present without overwhelming the space. From the moment you light it, there's a romantic freshness that feels both clean and soothing. The citrus opening gives way to the heart of Bulgarian Rose, creating an atmosphere that's relaxing yet refined.
I burned this in my living room, and it filled the space with just the right amount of fragrance—noticeable, inviting, but never too much. It's the kind of candle that makes any room feel more intentional, more serene. If you're looking for something that feels both romantic and effortlessly sophisticated, this is it.
This Atelier Candela rose candle is something else! The Damask rose scent is so authentic and fills my home with the most beautiful, natural fragrance. Seriously the best rose candle I've ever had.
Absolutely stunning! The Moroccan Rose candle from Atelier Candela is a dream. The scent is a beautiful, authentic rose – not too overpowering, just perfectly balanced with a lovely warmth. It fills the room with such an elegant and inviting aroma. Plus, the quality of the candle itself is fantastic; it burns evenly and lasts a good amount of time. Highly recommend!
I recently gifted my mother Moroccan Rose candle from Atelier Candela for Christmas, and it was a complete hit! The scent is absolutely divine—rich, velvety rose notes with a hint of exotic warmth that transforms her home into a luxurious oasis.
The candle itself is a work of art, elegantly packaged and crafted with such care that it felt like giving a piece of luxury. I love that Atelier Candela uses responsibly sourced, toxin-free ingredients, ensuring it’s as safe as it is beautiful. My mom can’t stop talking about how evenly it burns and how the fragrance lingers delicately long after it’s extinguished.
This candle was the highlight of her Christmas, and I’m thrilled with the joy it’s brought her. Atelier Candela has nailed the balance of quality and artistry. I’m already planning to buy another for her next special occasion—highly recommend this gem for a thoughtful, unforgettable gift!
I recently purchased two of these candles, and I’m absolutely in love. The scent is stunning—fresh and citrusy at first, thanks to the bergamot, orange, raspberry, and peach, but then it deepens beautifully into something truly luxurious. The heart of Bulgarian Rose oil is so elegant and romantic.
It’s a scent that evolves as it burns, filling the room without being overpowering—just the right amount of sophistication and warmth. These candles have quickly become a favorite part of my daily unwind routine. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates a modern take on a classic rose fragrance.
