The company dates back to 1961 and Boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris, where three artistic friends — Christiane Gautrot, Desmond Knox-Leet, and Yves Coueslant — set up a shop selling their designs.

The three founders were responsible for creating the early versions of the candles and personal fragrances that are found in its stores today.

Each candle is made in small batches to ensure the quality of the scent and ingredients.
