Gifts that fill the room

Château Noir is our interpretation of the slow, romantic life in Provence and the time our family spends in and around Antibes: the cool, dark stillness of a wine cellar, softened into a scent that fills the room.

Black pepper and rhubarb open into a heart of rose, leather and patchouli, and finish on sandalwood, tonka bean and vanilla.

It is poured in the Loire Valley from 100% vegetable wax, free from parabens and phthalates, with around 50 hours of burn time.

Mont Fort is a peak in the Valais Alps in Switzerland, and the scent is named after it. The time Mathilda has spent near that mountain, quiet mornings with family, crisp air and tall pines, is what she set out to capture: the calm of stepping into a small chalet in the hills, fresh and free but deeply comforting.

It took nearly two years. She went through countless versions, trying each one on family and friends, until it smelled the way the mountain feels: juniper berries and bergamot first, like the air outside, then pine and patchouli warming through, and finally tonka bean and musk, soft as a fire burning low.

Life in the Alps keeps a different pace. Breakfast takes as long as it takes, the day bends around the weather, and evenings end early and warm. Mont Fort was made to bring a little of that pace home, the way a scent in a small hotel stays with you long after you have checked out.
