Fragrances rooted
in the healing power of nature
A collection of fragrant remedies
Born of a botanical heritage and brought to life by a pharmacist with a passion for plants, our botanical candles and scented stones are imagined as true remedies crafted to revitalise, uplift, comfort and soothe.
The essence of the Maison
FRAGRANCE AS REMEDY
Where a centuries-old botanical heritage meets a pharmacist's expertise. Olfactory compositions conceived to transform our inner state across four emotional dimensions: vitality, joy, harmony and rest. Each fragrance a remedy in its own right.
ROOTED IN NATURE
Plants, woods, flowers, spices, resins and balms...Our essences from near and far are selected for their virtues and blended in Grasse by a French perfumer. Our wax, made from rapeseed flower, is entirely plant-based and paraffin-free.
EXCEPTIONAL SAVOIR-FAIRE
Our botanical candles are poured with care in the Loire Valley. The jars are crafted in Tuscany by master glassmakers, and designed to be reused endlessly. Our scented stones are carved from Lutetian limestone, in La Roche-Guyon.
“Today, we reconnect with millennia-old traditions to restore fragrance to its original purpose: that of a sensory remedy, imbued with the power of natural essences.”
Constance et Marguerite de Monravel
The virtues of our plant essences
vitality
The freshness of citrus awakens the senses, while marine and green breezes invite clarity of mind.
Joy
Sun-drenched florals radiate light and elation, joined by the enveloping warmth of spices. Soft, luminous, alive.
harmony
The depth of sacred woods soothes and grounds, while herbs and aromatics release tension.
Rest
Resins open a space of calm and deep stillness. Balms invite silence, introspection and the gentle return to oneself.
Constance & Marguerite de Monravel
Constance, an entrepreneur with a wandering spirit, and Marguerite, a pharmacist with a passion for botany, founded Maison Monravel with a deep conviction: fragrance holds a real power over our emotions and wellbeing.
Together, they continue the quest of Louis de Montravel, a visionary 19th-century botanist and Constance's ancestor, reconciling the ancestral virtues of plant essences with the sensory power of fragrance.
"For our debut collection, we imagined six elegant and deeply restorative botanical candles and scented stones."
Plant essences from near and far
Inspired by this botanical heritage, Constance and Marguerite travel the world in search of rare and singular essences, chosen for their virtues and for the finesse of their scent.
From their Emerald Coast garden in Brittany to the shores of the Mediterranean, from the mountains of Asia to the lands of Egypt, they draw on ancient care rituals to craft remedies that reconcile olfactory emotion with the virtues of plants.
