Warm coffee, buttery almond pastries and pipe tobacco.
The Breakfast Leipzig Candle by D.S. & DURGA is inspired by breakfast with Bach at Café Zimmermann, Leipzig. Think buttery almond pastries, pipe tobacco, and a hint of warm coffee in the background. Café Zimmerman was the backdrop to many of the first performances of Bach’s works, such as the Coffee Cantata. In 1723, the year Bach moved to Leipzig, it was the largest and best-appointed Coffeehouse in the city.

Approximate duration: 200g – 60hrs
I wanted to create the scent of the café in Leipzig where Bach wrote his famous Java Cantata in the 1700s. I imagine tightly packed tables of people breakfasting over buttery almond pastries and strong coffee. Smoking pipes, reading newspapers, talking. Creamers of milk, kitchen steam, tobacco clouds, a hint of an old fireplace in the corner, and burgundy leather upholstery on the seats. I love breakfast. It’s really a passion of mine. This candle is our first overtly gourmand scent. It’s light-hearted. I love the idea that you can change your house into this legendary café at such a specific moment in time simply by lighting it.

- For optimal burning, trim your wick to 5mm before each lighting to avoid smoking and overheating.
- Always protect the surface on which the candle sits.
- The first burn of any candle should be long enough for the entire top layer of wax to liquefy. This will ensure an even burn for each light.
- Refrain from burning candles longer than 3 hours at a time, and never burn a candle when there is less than 1cm of wax at the base.
- Never leave a candle burning unattended or within reach of drafts, pets, or small children.
- The candle jar will be hot after burning, so allow the wax to cool completely before handling
- Once the flame is extinguished make sure the wick is upright and centred.

Scent Notes: Tobacco maybe
Scent Strength: Subtle
Wanted to try this brand for so long.
The candle has a pleasant perfumed smell. A little like a medicinal pipe tobacco. I like it but the “advertised” notes are mostly undetectable… coffee in particular so the idea of a “breakfast” Leipzig are lost.
This has a poor cold throw that get worse when lit. And seems to get less and less as the candle burns.
This isn’t a cheap candle… especially when you consider it’s just in a glass with a poorly applied, lopsided label!
A very expensive mistake.
Scent Notes: smoke, vanilla
Scent Strength: Medium
I really like this candle and will repurchase it. It's a really unique scent - the pipe smoke was a *bit* strong at first but I think that is just because I wasn't used to it, and once the candle warmed up properly and the notes mingled, it was really lovely. I don't really pick up any coffee smell though, and wish that was a little stronger. The only disappointing thing is that the scent throw seems to get less and less the longer I burn the candle down. I'm about one quarter of the way through it now, and it doesn't really travel out of my office into the hallway or to any other rooms in the house anymore.
Scent Notes: Butter
Scent Strength: Medium
Doesn't smell like coffee, but does give that cafe sort of scent. My partner and I love it.
Scent Notes: woody
Scent Strength: Medium
I really enjoyed buying this candle. I fell in love with the smell instantly. Brings very#hygee feelings.
i dreamed about this candle after reading the description and reviews. i bought it last week, it arrived yesterday...the scent is pleasant, sweet, but not as complex or rich as the description suggested. reminds me of a candle i bought for a fiver as a teenager.
additionally, the wrong wick seems to have been used - after trimming to the correct length, the candle self-extinguished in the melted wax after 2 hours...which can be fixed but not ideal for £60.
it certainly looks nice i guess!
