The know-how in scented candles is shared between a few French Candlemaker working for most of the luxury brands. It is to these highly qualified craftsmen that we entrust our perfumes to transform them into candles.

The mixture of waxes and the nature of the wick is determined according to the composition of each perfume and after numerous tests to guarantee complete and regular combustion (approximately 50 to 60 hours for 240 g of wax) and good diffusion of the perfume.

For this, we use mixtures of high purity mineral waxes, paraffin and rapeseed. The 100% vegetable waxes, melt and burn too quickly, can shrink in the vase, and can develop a rancid smell after a few weeks which poses a problem of maintaining quality over time. Paraffin is created using crude oil. Contrary to popular belief, crude oil is a natural product, yes! It is extracted from the earth in very deep layers, and it is the result of the decomposition of plants and animals that lived there thousands of years ago. Paraffin wax is an ultra-pure, biodegradable product, which offers practically the same advantages as soy wax, stability in addition: non-toxic, clean combustion, immiscible (does not mix with water), allowing a perfect restitution of the olfactory note without parasitic odor.

The wearing of cosmetic products followed by exposure to the sun can trigger, according to people, photo-toxicity or photo-allergy reactions.
The regulations therefore require us to determine that our products are NON photo-toxic before being marketed by laboratory tests and by removing certain substances such as furocoumarins from our formulas. It is a family of compounds that are found in many plants such as: celery, marigold, parsley, fennel, angelica, dill, anise, carrot, coriander, bergamot, lemon. The latter must therefore be purified, rid of furocoumarins before incorporation into a perfume, this is the case of bergamot for example. If technically everything is done to be able to wear your perfume in the sun safely, there is no point in doing it, we simply do not recommend it.

Yes, it is absolutely essential. Just like a piece of clothing or a shoe! A perfume is a complex thing, an assembly of various chemical substances of natural or synthetic origins which has not been calibrated, adjusted for a particular epidermis: it remains Ready-to-wear.
The skin is the largest organ in the human body, we all have genetics, food, pH, hydration rate, different bacterial flora, etc. All of this counts and obviously has consequences for how whose scent will evolve and behave from one person to another. The skin test verifies that the perfume evolves on the epidermis as the perfumer imagined and designed it on the touch … but also its behavior over time.

European regulations have prohibited the testing of cosmetic products on animals for many years. Not to test on animals, it is simply to respect the law and the law is the same for all brands. In accordance with the law, we do not test our perfumes on animals but on human subjects. These skin tolerance tests are carried out by dermatologists.

We no longer send samples by mail (this is prohibited because of the alcohol and the fragility of the bottles, which, in fact, only very rarely arrive intact at the recipient despite our packaging efforts .

Smell is physiologically and above all a sense of alert! This is why we get used to the smells we are exposed to very quickly. Once we have evaluated an odor, we forget it and it is all the better, because we thus become ready to detect any new odor. Wearing the same perfume every day is the assurance of no longer detecting it very quickly… like another piece of your locker room, clothing or shoe, it is advisable to have several perfumes and to alternate according to desires, occasions or simply the mood, in order to always rediscover and appreciate them.

We know that poorly hydrated skin does not hold perfume well. Start by moisturizing your skin with an olfactory neutral milk. You can also choose a scented lotion in resonance with your perfume from our Body Care catalog.
You can also simply perfume your clothes, knowing that perfumes last longer on textiles than on the skin. The hair can also be scented, not every day, by light touch and not too close.
