Yes, 100%. Each candle is hand-poured in our workshop in Loctudy, Brittany. We work in small batches, which sometimes leads to tiny variations from one piece to another. This is the signature of handmade, and we are committed to it.

Only 100% vegetable wax (soy, rapeseed, or coconut depending on the model), biodegradable, non-toxic, and GMO-free. It offers a cleaner and longer burn than paraffin. No paraffin, no animal wax, ever.

Depending on the creations, the wick is made of untreated maple wood or cotton, always mounted on a lead-free metal base. Each wick is chosen and tested according to the container's diameter, as it determines the quality of combustion.

Our fragrances are developed in Grasse, the perfume capital of the world, with our master perfumer. They are guaranteed CMR-free and phthalate-free.

Each fragrance is reworked through iterations until it tells exactly the same story as the one written for it.

Absolutely. No animal-derived ingredients, and no animal testing.

Yes, entirely. Candles, wax melts, and scented objects are handmade in our Breton workshop in Loctudy, Finistère. The containers, warmers, and accessories are sourced from specialized partners.

Our entire process is described on the page where stories are born.

Depending on the model, our candles offer between 35 and 45 hours of burn time. To get the most out of it, trim the wick to 5 mm before each lighting.

Three simple steps and your candle will largely reward you:

• The first time you light it, let the wax melt to the edges, for about 2 hours. This prevents tunneling in the center.
• Trim the wick to 0.5 cm before each lighting.
• Do not let it burn for more than 3 to 4 hours at a time.

More tips on our usage tips page 🕯️

Absolutely not, and this is probably the most useful advice on this page. Blowing on it splashes hot wax, emits unpleasant smoke, and leaves a burnt smell that interferes with the fragrance.

Instead, use a dedicated tool: a bell snuffer, which smothers the flame without smoke, or wick trimmers to push it into the wax and then straighten it. Our Élégance Kit brings together these accessories, it is available in our scented objects and accessories.

This is almost always a sign of a wick that is too long. Extinguish the candle, let it cool, trim the wick to 0.5 cm, and re-light. Also, avoid drafts, which distort the flame and blacken the glass.

Place one or two cubes in the bowl of your warmer, then light a tealight candle underneath. The wax melts gently and diffuses the fragrance without a direct flame. Never add water to the bowl.

Not at the moment. Each candle is poured directly into its container, so we don't yet offer a refill system.

In the meantime, two great ways to continue the adventure: give your empty jar a second life, or switch to scented wax melts, which allow you to change fragrance without changing the container 🌿

This is a constant concern. From wax to packaging, we choose sustainable, recyclable or reusable materials. Our waxes are vegetable and renewable, our fragrances are free of harmful substances, and our glass containers are designed to have a second life.

We produce in small batches, which limits waste and unsold items.

First, clean it. Pour very hot water into the jar, the remaining wax will rise to the surface and harden as it cools; then simply remove it in one piece. A little soapy water to finish, and the glass is as good as new. Never dispose of wax down the sink.

Then, let your imagination run wild. Here's what our customers most often do with them:

• A pen or brush holder on the desk
• A cachepot for a small succulent or a cutting
• A tealight holder, with a simple tealight at the bottom
• Storage for jewelry, earrings or paper clips
• A holder for cotton swabs or make-up remover pads in the bathroom
• A small vase for three cut flowers or dried flowers
• A container for spices, sugar or small biscuits in the kitchen
• An original cocktail glass, to surprise your guests
• A make-up brush holder on the dressing table
• Small storage for haberdashery, buttons or coins

And if you really have no use for it, our container is made of fully recyclable glass: simply put it in the glass recycling bin once cleaned and its label removed 🌿

Through the contact form, by email at contact@lesfondeursdhistoires.com, or via our social networks. We respond within 24 to 48 business hours, and often much faster.

Contact us without delay. Delay, breakage, missing product or scent error: we will do our best to resolve the issue quickly. There are two of us, so you will always have someone who truly knows your case.

We do, and no one else. The product is made entirely in our workshop in Loctudy, from the very first sketch to the sealed package. Specifically, here's what we do ourselves:

• We write every story and imagine every universe
• We develop all the visuals and the entire artistic direction
• We print and cut the labels one by one, at the workshop
• We print postcards and collector cards
• We heat the wax, weigh the fragrances, and hand-pour all candles and melts
• We laser engrave the lids
• We test, check, label, and package each item

The only things we don't make are the containers and burners. They are carefully selected from exceptional partners, chosen for their quality and consistency with our universe.

Get to know us on the About Us page.

We are present all year round at numerous local markets, as well as at craft markets and more unusual events: fairy markets, medieval festivals, fantasy markets for Halloween and Christmas markets during the holiday season. This is the best way to experience our creations in person and chat with us.

Because a fragrance is not just smelled, it's remembered. Each creation starts with a handwritten story, even before thinking about the fragrance. A collector's card accompanies the candle to tell you this story.
