dream catcher: our Attrape-Rêves inspired candle (the $300 scent for $40)

if you've ever smelled Attrape-Rêves by Louis Vuitton and immediately checked the price tag ($300+ for a bottle), this one's for you. dream catcher is our hand-poured love letter to that exact scent profile — in a 16oz paint can tin, for $40.

what Attrape-Rêves actually smells like

The dreamiest thing the trunk-makers ever bottled: cocoa and rose, together, somehow weightless. Floral but never grandmotherly, chocolatey but never dessert — it floats.

how dream catcher captures it

dream catcher recreates that cocoa-rose float in soy wax. It's romantic, a little mysterious, and the single most 'what IS that?' scent in the collection when guests walk in.

the notes: cocoa, turkish rose, peony, patchouli — in a clean-burning natural soy blend with a crackling wooden wick, hand-poured in small batches in White Lake, Michigan.

when to burn it

Bedroom evenings, bubble baths, and love letters you'll never send.

the math that makes this fun

a $300 bottle of Attrape-Rêves gets worn by one person at a time. a $40 dream catcher scents the entire room for roughly 80 hours — about 50 cents an hour for everyone present. we're not saying it replaces the bottle. we're saying your living room deserves nice things too.

start with the 2oz mini ($8) if you want to sniff-test before committing, or meet the whole family on the designer collection page — twelve luxury-inspired scents, zero velvet rope.
