Potpourri Apothecary | Small "Graphite"
GRAPHITE
"The clash of scents and colors creates a vague and unpredictable fragrance, which suddenly emerges with the fresh scent of chalk permeating pencil shavings."
NOTES: Monochrome graphite, chalk palette, freshly turned wood
POT POURRI
This potpourri is crafted by artisans in an artistic, rugged iron vessel, filled with amber (amber resin) or lava (lava rocks) infused with the scent of natural materials. It offers a vivid, timeless, multi-sensory fragrance experience that awakens forgotten senses in everyday life.
Enjoy the fragrance by adding a few drops of the included recharge oil. You can adjust the amount of fragrance by opening and closing the lid and by adjusting the amount of recharge oil.
*One 15ml bottle of recharge oil is included.
VEGETAL AMBER
Amber resin is infused with natural fragrances. Depending on the harvesting conditions, it can come in a variety of colors, including orange, yellow, and brown, and may have wood or grass attached to it. Amber is visually unique, and you can sense its vital, positive energy.
LAVA
The lava stones are infused with natural fragrances. They come in a variety of colors, including black and brown, and come in a variety of shapes, allowing you to feel the dynamic pulse of the earth.
*Prices of MAD ET LEN products will be revised from October 1, 2025.
Usage notes
- Please avoid direct sunlight and dryness when using.
- Because the vessels are handmade, each one has a unique look.
- There are individual differences in the color and size of lava stones.
- Amber color and size may vary from piece to piece.
- Amber will adhere to water, so please avoid contact with water when using it.
- Amber is prone to cracking when its oil content decreases, so it requires regular maintenance.
- When opening, sand may fall out.
MAD ET LEN
MAD ET LEN was born in an atelier in Saint-Julien-du-Verdon, a small village in the south of France where time passes slowly.
The brand name MAD ET LEN is derived from the French baked confectionery "Madeleine." In Marcel Proust's "In Search of Lost Time," there is an episode in which eating a Madeleine (written as mad.len in the text) dipped in tea brings back memories of the past. This famous scene gave rise to the term "Proust effect," in which the recollection of memories and emotions from a moment in time is triggered by taste or smell, and "memory" is the foundation of our fragrance creations
.
Scent = Oil We use only natural ingredients. We strive for simplicity, crafting our recipes using only the barest of ingredients. The natural beauty surrounding our atelier in the South of France is our source of inspiration. The limited resources we encounter only at this time inspire us with refined ideas. We create delicate fragrances using traditional apothecary techniques, engaging in dialogue with seasonal ingredients in harmony with the rhythms of nature, and adhering to simplicity. We reject paraffin, other petroleum-based ingredients, and CMR molecules. Our story-like fragrances express a world of depth.
We create artistic fragrances by interacting with seasonal ingredients and respecting the cycles of nature.
Object (vessel/object)
Each vessel and object is handcrafted by artisans, crafting them entirely from rolled steel using techniques passed down through generations, without relying on technology. Each piece is handmade, not mass-produced, and the fine scratches on the surface create a vivid texture, while the unique unevenness and curved distortions reflect the care taken at the time of production. The piece has an artistic presence, a mix of ruggedness and delicacy. Its appearance changes over time, evoking an imperfect, decadent beauty. Each piece is irregular, and no two are alike. Rugged yet somehow refined, these pieces are works of art that breathe the artisan's skill.
Pot Pourri (material)
The vessel is lined with amber (amber resin), lava (lava rock), and colorful fine stones (minerals).
Each piece's unique color, shape, and size will captivate your eyes. Feel the dynamism of the earth and enjoy the essence of nature.
