Michelangelo’s David is one of the most studied works in Western art — but in this interpretation, only half the face emerges from the wax. It is an editorial choice that is also a philosophical one: the part that suggests the whole, the form that rewards attention. This is not a replica. It is a conversation with the original.
Hand-poured from 100% natural soy wax, individually hand-finished. Each piece is made to order — the brow, the eye, the cheekbone rendered with the care the subject demands.
Available scents: French Vanilla · Dark Amber Musk · Baccarat Rouge · Yum Pistachio Gelato · Goji Tarocco Orange · Morning Mimosa · Mahogany Teakwood · Shamrock Shake · St. Barts · Bohemian Rose · Sandalwood Rose · Amber Tobacco Leaf. Each fragrance is crafted from phthalate-free oils chosen to complement the character of the sculpture — choose at checkout.

Is this a replica of Michelangelo’s David?
