THE MANIFESTO
A dialogue between scent and space
Our manifesto is simple: to transform the air you breathe into a structural experience. We are the bridge between the raw earth and the refined spirit. Two Makers. One Mineral. Infinite Scent.
Why do we give a body to scent?
At Flamme d’Élixir, we refuse the ephemeral. We believe that a fragrance—though invisible—should possess a physical weight, a structural soul, and a permanent presence.
Flamme d’Élixir is a French luxury design house, founded by two artisans dedicated to the creation of handmade scented sculptures.
Our journey began with one simple observation – the world didn’t need another candle or a diffuser, but a permanent piece of art that breathes.
Based in the South-west of France, we have re-defined home fragrance by merging traditional French perfumery with modern, architectural mineral design.
The Duo Behind the Brand
We are a small, independent team of two. This means every hand-poured candle, artisanal reed-diffuser, other scented object is touched by our hands in each and every stage of production.
With a keen interest in creative direction and brand development, Charitha leads the visual and narrative identity of Flamme d’Élixir.
Her work spans creative direction, marketing, packaging design, online presence, and public relations — shaping how the brand is perceived, experienced, and remembered.
From visual language to editorial tone, every detail is considered as part of a cohesive whole.
Guided by an instinctive relationship with scent and form, Sreeharsha leads the sensory and material dimension of the brand.
His work encompasses fragrance development, object design, and material exploration — from initial experimentation to final production.
He oversees the entire process: testing, prototyping, refining, and understanding how scent and material interact within a space.
One perspective gives shape to the brand’s image and voice.
The other gives substance to its form and scent.
Together, they create objects where design and emotion exist in quiet balance — shaped not by trends, but by intention.
Elevating the French interior design
Our mission is to provide more than just a scent ; we provide a structural experience. Inspired by the symmetry of French architecture, our designs serves as a focal point of modern interiors. Whether it is our geometric stone candles or luxury diffusers, Flamme d’Élixir represents the pinnacle of French craftsmanship and contemporary elegance.
The design of this current diffuser is inspired by the concept of the “étage noble” (noble floor) conceived by Georges-Eugène Haussmann, who designed the entire city of Paris and most French buildings in the 19th century. This concept is based on an intermediate floor that is proportionally longer and wider than the others, adorned with intricate moldings and motifs, a symbol of prestige and craftsmanship. Our creation embodies this same aesthetic.
Savoir-Faire
The Alchemy of fragrance & Mineral
Our French-inspired Savoir-Faire is a bridge between the raw earth and the refined spirit.
The Olfactory: Our scents are developed in Grasse, France, the world’s capital of high perfumery. These are complex elixirs, layered with top, heart, and base notes that evolve as they breathe.
The Structural: We hand-mix mineral composite to create our signature jars. The process is slow: each piece is hand-poured, cured for days, and meticulously sanded by hand to achieve a stone-like texture that feels ancient yet modern.
The Second Life: Designed to Endure
Unlike mass-produced glass candles that are discarded after use, a Flamme d’Élixir vessel is a permanent addition to your interior design. Once the wax has vanished, the sculpture remains. We invite you to give it a Second Life—as a minimalist planter, a jewelry sanctuary, or a structural object on your desk. We create for the after.
