ABOUT US____ and how we are a different kind of scent company.
Pour l’air is about adding light to the day with scents made from stories. Scents created from stories, developed by professional fragrance developers. Each candle has a purpose, a function. Each is designed change your mindset, your mood, your room.
ABOUT THE FOUNDER Jocelyn Fortier [creative director] I have been developing fashion branding and campaigns for 20 years - taking brands to international success, creating sketches and sayings, art directing, designing and creative directing photo shoots with renowned photographers and models. I loved everyday. Now I am pouring my passion into my own brand Pour l’air. Breaking all the rules I wish, making my own mess and writing my own story. I always used scent to get my mind to where it needed to be. I am fascinated with scent and the power of it so I spent time making scents of stories that you can get out of your head and into your dreams. Based on the science of scent affecting minds and moods, I write stories then work with highly skilled fragrance developers to make the stories into scents. Pour l’air scents are designed with purpose. They are designed to be an experience, to move your mind to hear your heart. Like a lover or a mother reading to you, they soothe and make the mind wander. A great way to use the candle is to have someone read the story as the candle is being lit. Let the scent fill the space and let your mind wander through the story.
SCENT COLLECTIONS. The inaugural collection ( White 1.0 ) is inspired by smells intoxicating, visceral and poetic...slightly rotting roots, horse, hay, backseat makeouts. Each is a different experience and ignites a different feeling or mindset. Each has a different purpose__getting you into a creative space, a passionate place, wandering, a place of curiosity, daydreaming, renewing or napping.
THE CANDLE is a 9oz soy blend, fine fragrance, cotton wick for a clean burn, not tested on animals, handmade in LA. The ( White 1.0 ) box is inspired by an elegant yet raw man in a classic white tshirt, strong and sensual.
