Mozart & Cavalcabo - is an artistic release from the Lviv Candle Manufactory that combines scented candles, fragrances, candle accessories and coffee wine.
This release is inspired by the story of Franz Xaver Mozart's unrequited love for Josephine Baroni von Cavalcabo, which unfolded on the streets of nineteenth-century Lviv.
Franz Xaver Mozart lived, worked and loved in Lviv for three decades. Rumour has it that he had secret meetings with Cavalcabo in the building where the Lviv Candle Manufactory is located today. That is why the idea for the collection originated here.
It so happened that Josephine was married and could not reciprocate the love of Mozart. Their platonic relationship lasted for 31 years: private music lessons, joint travels, dedicated musical compositions and feelings that will forever live only between the lines of the music score.
The love story inspired the artist Oleksandr Voytovych, who in 2017 created 2 paintings with a portrait of Mozart and Cavalcabo especially for the LvivMozArt classical music festival. These paintings became the basis for the visual design of the Mozart & Cavalcabo collection.
We have chosen two scents for Mozart & Cavalcabo candles and fragrances:
– tobacco and patchouli
- a mixture of pink pepper, tuberose and ylang-ylang
Candle spices are like a bouquet of unrequited feelings, full of both tender and sweet, as well as bitter and tart chords. Each flickering flame of a candle is like an echo of passionate feelings, each scent is like a note of a magical symphony that has never been performed.
