For those in the know (a.k.a. our subscribers), you have already discovered our newly launched Luxe Provence Artisanal Candle collection. We are working with the finest Artisans of Provence each season, from perfumer to ceramicist, to design heirloom quality porcelain candles featuring the finest fragrances available from Grasse, the perfume capital of the world. Our Artisanal Candle Subscribers are the first to discover our fragrances and new candle designs each season featuring handmade porcelain vessels created exclusively by one of our favorite ceramicists, Valérie Casado of Isle sur la Sorgue.
For our first fragrance collaboration, we teamed up with Grasse perfumer, Stéphanie Bakouche of Sensaba. Stéphanie, an active member of Versaille’s Osmothèque and Accords & Parfums, is the talented young nose behind luxury niche fragrances: Rose Privée by L’Artisan Parfumeur; Jul et Mad’s Fugit Amor and Mon Seul Desir; and Cloon Keen Atelier’s Bataille de Fleurs.
Stéphanie spent seven years in fragrance development for brand, l’Artisan Parfumer, and as a student and colleague of nose, Bertrand Duchaufour. She is an independent member of Accords & Parfums, the acclaimed perfume center located on the historic Domaine Sainte Blanche, with direct access to the highest quality fragrance ingredients and latest technology innovations in the world of perfumery. The prestigious center was founded by Olivier Maure, well-known for passionately protecting Grasse’s perfume heritage for decades, alongside Edmond Roudnitska at Art & Parfum, the first independent nose and French Master Perfumer. Roudnitska is behind many of today’s bestselling fragrances of all-time which were created on the property, such as, as Dior’s Eau Sauvage, Diorissimo, and Rochas’s Femme.
We are thrilled to collaborate on our first Luxe Provence fragrances with such a rising talent who perfectly embodies our brand values working as a passionate artisan while also protecting and advancing the high quality perfume heritage here in Grasse. Our premiere Luxe Provence fragrance release is Mediterranean Fig, inspired by Luxe Provence founder’s fond memories of her family’s first summer spent in Provence’s magical calanques.
We will be releasing new Provence inspired fragrances this year for individual purchase on the site later this year. Be sure to discover our first release, Mediterranean Fig available as a single luxury candle, or subscribe to be the first to discover each new fragrance with 6 seasonal deliveries from Provence to your doorstep throughout the year.
