Christmas is just around the corner and it’s an opportunity to discover our selection of last minute gifts, spreading an authentic real French spirit in your place.  From candles, perfumes, cosmetics or other decorative elements. <\/strong>By Alexis Lery<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

\"\"We’re glad to start this Christmas<\/strong> selection, with three Animaux Merveilleux<\/strong> imagined by Diptyque<\/strong><\/a> (already mentioned in our full candle<\/strong> article here<\/strong>) and the contribution of the French<\/strong> artist Ugo Gattoni<\/strong>, with the Sapin de Nuit<\/strong><\/a> candle. Here, the deer<\/strong> mingles its golden antlers with the branches of a tall decorated Christmas<\/strong> tree<\/strong>. In this jar, enjoy the essences of Siberian<\/strong> and Canadian<\/strong> pines, sparkling under icy notes of eucalyptus<\/strong> and peppermint<\/strong>. Therefore, this Sapin de Nuit<\/strong> candle holds an aromatic woody<\/strong> note, so emblematic of these wintertime<\/strong> celebrations, especially since this candle<\/strong> captures the invigorating beauty of an aromatic<\/strong> pine forest<\/strong>. On top of that, in order to preserve its fragrance<\/strong> and protect its wax<\/strong>, this Sapin de Nuit<\/strong> candle comes with an elegant black bakelite<\/strong> cap. 70g\/190g (photo credits: Diptyque).<\/p>\n

Then, we find the Fleur Majest\u00e9<\/strong>, another scented candle<\/strong> starring a majestic Lion<\/strong> releases a warm fragrance<\/strong>, while rubbing his muzzle on a flavorful flowerbed<\/strong>. Indeed, an armful of rare roses<\/strong> warmed with spices<\/strong> and fiery cinnamon<\/strong>, this Fleur Majest\u00e9<\/strong> edition holds a daring floral<\/strong>, in order to reveal a living<\/strong> and dazzling<\/strong> energy. Again, in order to preserve its assets<\/strong> and protect its wax<\/strong>, the Fleur Majest\u00e9<\/strong> candle comes with an elegant black bakelite<\/strong> cap. 70g\/190g<\/p>\n

\"\"Last but not least, we follow with the Ambre Plume<\/strong> candle, featuring another type of animal, an intriguing Swan<\/strong> spreads its wings above a rocky<\/strong> hill, awakening new scents<\/strong>. Therefore, the Ambre Plume<\/strong> candle brings a durable sensation of a delicate radiance, including some bright orange<\/strong>, cinnamon<\/strong> and ginger <\/strong>able to vibrate your interior with a main green <\/strong>touch. A fair combination explicitly softened by a deep amber<\/strong> accord, still protected with an elegant black bakelite<\/strong> cap. 70g\/190g<\/p>\n

Cherry on the cake, also discover the fairy silver Carousel<\/strong><\/a> able to turn on itself thanks to the heat of the flame of your candle<\/strong>. Matched with this Animaux Merveilleux<\/strong>‘ thematics (Marvelous Animals), enhance a winter tale<\/strong> in your table, through these amazing sparkles <\/strong>arising around this magical<\/strong> invention. This incredible accessory <\/strong>is only available in a very limited edition<\/strong>, to dress up the 190g Diptyque<\/strong> candles for any festive occasions. 50 euros<\/p>\n

More information on the official website <\/strong><\/a>or on our article<\/strong><\/a> about scented candles<\/strong><\/a>. Don’t also miss to celebrate with Diptyque<\/strong> their 60th anniversary between the 19th and the 23rd January 2021, from 8am until 8.30pm. An exclusive olfactory<\/strong> hopscotch, full of surprises would wait for you at the Galerie de Chartres<\/strong> in the gardens of the Palais Royal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"Pursuing on this candle<\/strong> line, this time Trudon<\/strong><\/a> visits the enchanted alleys of an imaginary enchanted bazaar<\/strong>, nested somewhere between Orient<\/strong> and Occident<\/strong>. Benefiting of the wax<\/strong> expertise of this ancestral French<\/strong> house, the quintessence<\/em> of a couple of Mediterranean<\/strong> atmospheres would naturally express their scents<\/strong> at your place, through a fireworks<\/strong> of warm lights, colored glass paste<\/strong> and highlighted by the multiple subtle golden-copper<\/strong> reflections from the jar<\/strong>. The result of this series is a bewitching profusion<\/strong> of countless spices<\/strong> guiding you towards a scenery of authentic tales from the Thousand and One Nights <\/strong>(photo credits: Trudon).<\/p>\n

Therefore, somehow reminding the mysterious atmosphere emanating from some Medina<\/strong>, the surrounding glass of these scented candles<\/strong> were cracked with gold leaves<\/strong> carefully affixed by hand and vibrating with light. Indeed, preserved inside fancy packagings<\/strong>, dressed in an intense red brick<\/strong> color, you would get an amazing first impression of fine golden sketches<\/strong>, illustrating traditional Moroccan<\/strong> objects… Thus, you may identify a couple of babouches<\/em><\/strong> (slippers), censer<\/strong>, along a real Fez<\/strong> hat, besides a hammered tray<\/strong> and behind some oriental jewelry<\/strong>. Moreover, on some sides, you could as well recognize a wall of the Medina<\/strong>, adorned with the genuine Moorish<\/strong> elements reinforced the architectural<\/strong> spirit of these candles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"If you have a closer look to these creations, you would easily recognize some emblematic perfumes<\/strong> of Trudon<\/strong> adapted here to this present situation. Therefore, navigate through the mint tea<\/strong> essences of the Ambre<\/strong> version recalling the original Abd el Kader<\/strong>, some accord between leather<\/strong> and tobacco<\/strong> with Anthracite<\/strong> related to the native Ernesto<\/strong>, along the explosion of pine<\/strong> needles from the Bleu Saphir<\/strong> for Fir<\/strong>, the gourmet<\/em> appeal of some wooden<\/strong> scents emanating from the \u00c9meraude Verte<\/strong> in connection with the best-seller Gabriel<\/strong> candle veil of incense, before the typical Christmas<\/strong> cocktail embodied by the Rouge Rubis<\/strong> inviting Gloria<\/strong> to share its orange blossom<\/strong> sweetness and a glance of evocative spices<\/strong>, such as nutmeg<\/strong>, cloves<\/strong>, cinnamon<\/strong> and cardamom<\/strong>. For your information, this ultimate creation is a tribute to the birth of a luminous<\/strong> impulse made to celebrate its concentrate of cedar<\/strong>, patchouli<\/strong> from Indonesia <\/strong>and vetiver<\/strong> from Haiti<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This Grand Bazar Enchant\u00e9<\/strong> selection is available in 3 formats:<\/p>\n

Classic candle<\/strong> 270g: 85 \u20ac

\"\"From the same manufacture, Carri\u00e8re Fr\u00e8res<\/strong><\/a> combines a wedding between Siberian pine<\/strong> and three noble scents<\/strong>, those are Dades Rose<\/strong>, Henan Cedar<\/strong> and Galle Cinnamon<\/strong>. As far as we know, these colorful associations may of course regarded as many invitations<\/strong> to travel, while unveiling numerous facets of this precious wood<\/strong>, coming straight from the other side of the Planet<\/strong>. Adding to this, its virtuous essential oil<\/strong> is used for ages as an aromatherapy<\/strong> classic (photo credits: Carri\u00e8re Fr\u00e8res).<\/p>\n

Adapted here with three compatible essences, this Siberian pine<\/strong> feels good and notably sublimes the Dades Rose<\/strong>, an ancestral Moroccan<\/strong> variety, whose particularity is to flourish in the middle of the desert<\/strong>. This woody-flowery<\/strong> association precedes the unexpected orchestration with the majestic Chinese<\/strong> cedar, spreading here its elegant woody<\/strong> and leathery<\/strong> notes. Nonetheless, the spicy<\/strong> touch of cinnamon<\/strong> from Sri Lanka<\/strong>, glorifies once again the finesse of the Siberian Pine<\/strong> and offers it more warmth and voluptuousness.<\/p>\n

In brief, these three precious scented candles<\/strong> are presented in pretty boxes<\/strong>, decorated with charming illustrations<\/strong>, in order to better preserve and announce the upcoming generosity<\/strong> of resin<\/strong> and pine needles<\/strong>, or the leather<\/strong> and spicy<\/strong> approaches kept in the wax<\/strong>. Average weight: 185g \/ recommended price: 52 \u20ac for an expected combustion<\/strong> time of 45 hours.<\/p>\n

We pursue this tour with a design<\/strong> collection, both imagined and designed in Paris<\/strong>, by the Compagnie Fran\u00e7aise de l’Orient et de la Chine<\/strong><\/a>. Under the supervision of Val\u00e9rie Le H\u00e9no<\/strong>, the artistic director of the also so-called CFOC<\/strong><\/a>, you would find a wide range of furniture<\/strong> and decorative objects<\/strong> full of discreet luxury<\/strong>. This unique selection imprinted of exoticism<\/strong> was made possible thanks to the huge efforts paid by numerous skilled craftsmen<\/strong> from Orient<\/strong> and Asia<\/strong>, a proven quality reinforced with their exceptional ancestral know-how<\/strong>. The result is an authentic<\/strong> and colorful <\/strong>selection, fair and respectful to the contribution of each one. Explore here a set of Christmas<\/strong> boxes, offering a set of contemporary<\/strong> pieces with a refined design<\/strong> (photo credits: CFOC).<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"Let’s start with a set of 4 coffee cups<\/strong>, an ORYZA<\/strong> porcelain made with linear patterns<\/strong>, inspired by grasses native to the East Indies<\/strong> and China<\/strong>, are made by perforation using a stencil<\/strong>; an artisanal technique called grain of rice<\/strong>. Then, the bowl is then covered with a transparent glaze<\/strong> for a trompe-l’oeil<\/em> effect, available in 3 sizes to match the bowls<\/strong> with each other and multiply the uses.<\/p>\n

Then, a set of 6 napkins<\/strong> showing these towels<\/strong> crafted from bleached linen<\/strong> with a day, made of a colorfast cotton embroidery<\/strong> finish highlighting the border.

\"\"\"\"Then, look at these Bowls<\/strong> of the Uddo<\/strong> collection, all made in jujube<\/strong> wood. Imagined by craftsmen<\/strong> from the province of Fujian<\/strong>, in China<\/strong>. Carved in the mass, these objects take the traditional Japanese<\/strong> forms. To complete this, opt for the Ono<\/strong> tray, composed of ash wood<\/strong>, whose trays<\/strong> are finely sanded in order to enhance each grain of this precious wood<\/strong>.   <\/p>\n

On top of that, a box<\/strong> with different plates inspired by many leaves <\/strong>of trees (maple, gingko, philodendron…), realized by artisans from the Hunan<\/strong> region, still in China<\/strong>.

In a decorative part, the Boutiques de Mus\u00e9es<\/strong> proposes an exclusive selection of gifts<\/strong> related to famous national museum<\/strong>, that the random visitors would have the chance to bring back as souvenirs<\/strong><\/em>, from the many boutiques<\/strong><\/em> of the RMN<\/strong> network (photo credits: R\u00e9union des Mus\u00e9es Nationaux).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Among them, we count the prestigious French<\/strong> sites, such as the Louvre Museum<\/strong>, Orsay Museum<\/strong>, Centre Pompidou<\/strong>, Grand Palais<\/strong>… The team of these different entities<\/strong> paid much efforts to promote those cultural<\/strong> goods. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n

Another partnership as well emerged with Petit Jour Paris<\/strong>, a French<\/strong> brand created in 1977 by Thomas Lettman<\/strong>. In this case, Soledad Bravi<\/strong> seemed to have so much fun while redrawing, in a different way, the two “superstars” of Versailles<\/strong>, Louis XIV<\/strong> and Marie-Antoinette<\/strong>. Nonetheless, the illustrious S\u00e8vres<\/strong> manufacture has produced several porcelain models representing Marie-Antoinette<\/strong>, of which you could order here a hand-patinated reproduction<\/strong>, whose mold was made from an imprint of the original masterpiece<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"Now, a different bag<\/strong> line approach… Launched in parallel of the European Week for Waste Reduction<\/strong> that occurred in 2019, Delsey Paris<\/strong><\/a> developed a whole sustainable collection of EGOA<\/strong><\/a> luggage, based on a r-PET<\/strong> process. Therefore, this recycled<\/strong> material is obtained from collected water<\/strong> or soda<\/strong> bottles, before being washed and then crushed. As far as we know, this innovative material<\/strong> contributes to limit the use of any raw material<\/strong> as well as to reduce greenhouse gas emissions<\/strong>. In the same way, this range was undoubtedly born from a wish to save energy<\/strong> and protects the Planet<\/strong> from the main pollution<\/strong> issues related to plastic<\/strong> production and waste.<\/p>\n

The result is a brilliant silver collection<\/strong>, respecting the green<\/strong> commitment enacted by Delsey Paris<\/strong> as part of its Delsey Planet<\/strong> program. As a pioneer<\/strong> program for these brand’s wills, nonetheless this EGOA<\/strong> luggage selection is regarded as both resistant, light and handy. Like all Delsey<\/strong> products, they are conceived to last in time and may as well benefit from the Delsey Repair<\/strong> service. Therefore, that’s why their wheels<\/strong> and trolleys<\/strong> are removable, repairable and exchangeable, because extending the lifespan<\/strong> of suitcases and bags also means helping to reduce waste <\/strong>(photo credits: Delsey).<\/p>\n

This EGOA<\/strong><\/a> range is available as a Duffle Bag<\/strong> (69cm\/139 \u20ac), a Cabin Bag<\/strong> (79 \u20ac) and a Toiletry Bag<\/strong> (35 \u20ac).<\/p>\n

Indeed, this mechanism<\/strong> requires no less than seven different pieces when usually two are enough for the same type of structure<\/strong>, offering a convenient functionality<\/strong> while allowing an intuitive gesture and a sensual moment.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
\"\"\"\"Regarding the contents of this Cacharel<\/strong> masterpiece, imagined by the duet Honorine Blanc<\/strong> and Christophe Raynaud<\/strong>, you have here an authentic Spicy Cremoso<\/strong><\/em>, a specific accord based on Accord Milk<\/strong>, Sandalwood<\/strong> and of course Cardamom<\/strong>. By the way, this specific note<\/strong> is rarely present in feminine perfumes<\/strong>.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Therefore, this Eau de Parfum<\/strong> juggles between two major contrasts, the exotic and stimulating essence of Cardamom<\/strong> and the sweetness of a creamy<\/strong> accord, starring on one side, a sparkling fruity<\/strong> cocktail of raspberry<\/strong> and tangerine<\/strong>. On the other side, you would surely enjoy the freshness of a floral<\/strong> wedding between the flavorful Gardenia<\/strong>, Jasmine<\/strong> and Ginger<\/strong> white flowers. <\/div>\n
