They are made according to traditional and manual techniques preserved by craftsmen. The glass of the candle is signed with a monogram - interlaced letters - in a modern echo to the history of Maison D'ORSAY. It begins in a century-old glass and crystal workshop in the Bresle Valley in Upper Normandy. It's here that the glass, characterized by its fine vertical grooves, takes shape. Craftsmen collect a mass of molten glass at the end of their glassmaking cane. They take turns blowing the glass, cutting it, then integrating the molten glass into a mold made exclusively for D'ORSAY. The unfinished glass is then carefully removed from the mould, before the edge is cut and carefully polished. Then comes the lacquering of the previously transparent pot to obtain the amber or dark green shade. The emblematic D'ORSAY monogram, reinterpreted from the D'ORSAY archives, is then applied in a gilding workshop and the brushed brass base is placed on the glass, providing a luminous echo to the round, gilded monogram. Then it's time to place the pure cotton wick and pour the scented wax. This stage is carried out in a century-old wax-making workshop, a repository of the traditions and values of wax-makers, and of production techniques that are - in some cases - no longer used today: the great tradition of hand-crafting. This heritage goes back to the oldest techniques of the Maîtres Ciriers originating from the Ciergerie des Prémontrés, handed down in 1904 by the monks of Frigolet Abbey to the great-grandfather of this current Maitre Cirier located in Provence, not far from Grasse. Each wax, mineral or vegetable, is of superior quality, rigorously selected and carefully chosen according to the fragrance to be diffused. This unique blend is specially developed for each fragrance, so that it can express itself with precision and balance.
