THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE SCENT

THE FOREST

Every weekend after a languorous Sunday lunch, it was tradition for our founder, Elise, and her family to journey into the forest for an invigorating walk. The scent of fresh soil is unearthed as dry leaves crackle underfoot, carried by the comfort of a full belly. In the distance, log fires and masculine leathers are inhaled in gulping breaths as little legs hurry to keep pace.

PREMIERES BOUGIES

Our first collection of scented candles launched in 2012. They evoke a nostalgic, olfactive walk through a typical Sunday for our founder, Elise, when she was 8 years old in France.

BURSTS INTO FORM

Each Maison Balzac candle is housed in hand-blown 100% Borosilicate glass. Le Bois is wrapped in a painting entitled: 'He presses against the blue, and bursts into form', by Sydney based artist, Leah Frazer.

DID YOU KNOW?

Our original five scents were designed to recreate moments in Elise’s early childhood in the South of France. Le Bois is woody scent reminiscent of the dominical walk in the nearby forest after a typical, French long family lunch.
