If you're looking for a scented candle that feels like a complete story, not just a scent – Maison Louis Marie is exactly what you need.
This French-American brand (based on 200+ years of family history) creates candles, each carrying a memory: a country house in Paris, a walk in the forest, summer on the beach, or a secret family moment.
Founder Marie du Petit Thouars grew up among greenhouses and gardens in Belgium and France. Her grandfather was a botanist, and her great-grandfather (Louis Marie) was a Belgian scientist who cataloged plants across Europe. Marie started making candles in her kitchen in Los Angeles – and today, every candle is part of a personal/family journey.
The candles are made from natural soy wax, non-toxic, cruelty-free, and burn for 50-60 hours.
In Israel – exclusive import by Fine Rituals, with 3-5 day delivery and full support in Hebrew.
