The story of our candles is based on the miracle of memory. We believe that memories are the most important and, at best, the most beautiful treasures that every person carries with them individually. And our memory is the only paradise you can't be driven out of. In his well-known novel “In Search of Lost Time,” Marcel Proust best addresses memory through smelling, the strongest of our senses. The first-person narrator experiences how the scent and taste of a pastry dipped in lime blossom tea called Petite Madeleine trigger a flood of childhood memories in him.
