Scented Candle In The Temple

Burn time: 40 hours

The perfumes are made in France, mostly in Provence; the house leaves out parabens, PEG, and sulfates, doesn’t test on animals, uses recyclable packaging, and keeps short supply chains with regional makers.

Francis Miller and Patrick Bertaux are designers and inveterate travelers. In 1985 they opened a shop in the Paris Marais for their clothes and for the things they brought back from their travels — from India, from Asia, from everywhere. Fragrance came later, as another language of the same world: perfumes with poetic, numbered names, somewhere between a notebook and a poem. At Miller et Bertaux a scent is never just a scent, but part of a whole way of living. Made in France.
