Lou Candeloun

Of the five senses, it is the sense of smell that can evoke a childhood memory in a fraction of a second, can trigger dreams, can relax. The makers of Lou Candeloun candles take you on a journey through Provence and the Mediterranean with associations of scents that are new yet so alive.

A journey without leaving home Imagine you are at a market in Provence. You stroll through the stalls, smell the thyme, then sage and cloves.

Fruits: Plump melons and fresh figs ... Has this whetted your appetite? How about a little pastis for dinner? ... After a meal and a nap, you leave the village and approach the sea. The Mediterranean Sea presents itself, glittering. You go in the direction of the creeks, the sun is burning but you are sheltered under the coolness of the pine trees ... The day is getting shorter and you finally enter Marseille. From the top of her hill, the Good Mother awaits you. You push the heavy blade, a scent of wood and incense envelops you. You close your eyes and dream of your next vacation ... perhaps on an island in the west where leather and blond tobacco mingle with vanilla flowers; maybe in this country, far away, in the east, where ginger, wild pepper and combava grow ...

Handmade candles, beautiful to look at and good for health. Candeloun means candle in Provençal. Production could not take place anywhere else but in this south so rich in scents. The candles are poured one by one, by hand, in the old-fashioned way. Aside from the scents, they owe their specificity to the nature of the wax: no petroleum paraffin. Lou Candeloun's wax is 100% vegetable and natural, does not distort odors, is not harmful to the lungs and is of French origin. Even the wicks are made from natural cotton.

The design is an essential part of Lou Candeloun's candles. Each collection has its own style. For Retour du Marché, glass jars of the Weck brand with small click lids.
