The values of Martin de Candre

A human, authentic and daring company.

Martin de Candre is the result of a family and entrepreneurial adventure that has led to a warm and dynamic spirit in its corporate culture.Our team consists of ten invested and passionate people who ensure the smooth running of the quality process.Since 1974, we have developed more than 80 formulas of hygiene products and fragrances.They are the result of creative and innovative research, between tradition and modernity.

Artisanal quality is at the heart of our dual profession of soap maker-perfumer. We are proud to participate in the revaluation of the handmade which follows a more responsible manufacturing logic and respectful of man and the environment. Craftsmanship is a challenge for the future. Since our creation, we have patiently and perseveringly created genuine products that promote the love of a job well done. Manufacturing is 100% local and we favor local suppliers. No additives or synthetic fragrances clutter the composition of our products: you will benefit from the essentials, what your skin really needs to radiate naturally. The search for excellence in our craftsmanship is a daily quest. Our raw materials are noble, as are the gestures that will allow them to be transformed into a high quality product. By choosing to trust us, you participate in the safeguarding of an exceptional heritage.

You will discover in our boutique-exposure quite surprising and striking by its ambient fragrance, its beauty and refinement, a small universe where the past and the present blend with happiness and simplicity: very beautiful collection of labels, packagings and antique advertisements on soap, equipment of chemist and perfumer of the past, old furniture of crafts.

Under the magnificent 12th century barn of the Domaine de Mestré, a beautiful museum awaits you where you will discover that the soapmakers were the first adverts from 1820.
