The limited edition Odyssée collection of candles and diffusers is inspired both by the elegance of ancient Greece and by an aquatic microcosm invisible to the naked eye. Its fragrances are inspired by the agape that the muse Calypso gave to Ulysses, promising him eternal life...

In order to be able to create these designs, we called on paper craftsmen based in the south of France. Recognized by the Japanese state as Masters of Washi, they worked closely with us to create graphic and organic prints. Using an Origami method, the paper is folded and dipped in different pigments. Like a blotter, the paper is tinted, creating a random and unique pattern. We used the sublimation method on glass for the first time and asked an Italian company to work on this project. Their expertise was primarily in decorating small-sized bottles. The high definition Japanese paper photographs were printed with natural pigments on a biodegradable film. The film is then placed around the glass and heated so that the decoration shrinks around it and becomes integrated into the material
