Montreal can also be told through its scents: the brick workshops of Griffintown, the cafés of Mile-End, the clotheslines of the Plateau, the alleys of Rosemont, and the trails of Mount Royal. At Nuances & Co., our ten Montreal-inspired home fragrances translate these scenes into handcrafted, hand-poured candles.

Mile-End and Griffintown: from night to old workshops

Midnight in Mile-End evokes the still-lit bookstores and conversations that linger past midnight. Lemon and pink pepper open onto dried fruits, rum, and blond woods, before a base of styrax, tobacco leaf, and vanilla.

The Griffintown workshops instead explore the neighborhood's industrial past. Bergamot and mandarin illuminate a clay and mineral accord, supported by oakmoss, sandalwood, and patchouli.

The Plateau and Rosemont: fresh laundry and summer alleys

Laundry in the wind on the Plateau is inspired by clotheslines between plexes and open windows. Pear, iris, orange blossom, white woods, and creamy musk create a clean, floral, and light fragrance.

Summer in the alleys of Rosemont recalls the gardens behind fences and afternoons in the shade. Fig leaf and galbanum meet coconut water, fig milk, cedar, and dry woods.

October evenings: rue Ontario and Old Montreal

Citrouilles sur la rue Ontario is inspired by decorated Hochelaga storefronts and glowing pumpkins. Pumpkin and chai spices meet baked apple and warm cream, over vanilla, brown sugar and soft wood.

Les ombres du Vieux-Montréal recalls stone lanes after dark. Grapefruit and betel pepper open into dark lavender, ink and cardamom, followed by birch, leather and smoked wood.

Île Sainte-Hélène: a woodland walk

Brume sur l’île Sainte-Hélène evokes misty autumn trails with notes of autumn leaves, cedar and moss.

Avenue Laurier: the matcha ritual

Matcha on Laurier is inspired by the cafés on Laurier Avenue. Bergamot, bitter orange, and fig introduce a heart of matcha tea, sesame, and vetiver, supported by sandalwood and cedar.

Two Quebec rituals: apples and the cottage

Apple season accompanies autumn with red apple, cardamom, clove, and a Graham cracker accord.

Weekend at the cottage brings the fireplace into the home with crackling wood, smoked earth, oak ash, resin, and smoldering embers.
