Established June 2020 by Marie and Marceau Bardout, Marsault combines a passion for wine with handmade craft. The brother and sister duo behind this sustainable business were keen to come up with an original idea to give Champagne bottles a new lease of life. Inspired by upcycling, together they hit upon the bright idea of transforming this raw material into elegant, handcrafted scented candles. And creating handmade-to-order products reflecting the same exacting standards synonymous with Abel\u00e9 1757. We met with the duo behind Marsault and were treated to a unique insight into their approach. <\/strong>How did the idea for Marsault come about? How is it different from other concepts?<\/em><\/strong>Marie: Marsault came to light in the middle of lockdown, a year ago now.<\/em> It\u2019s a combination of two distinct crafts: candle maker and glassmaker. As much work goes into the external element, the glass, as the candle wax on the inside, which is what sets us apart from our competitors who only focus on part of the process.<\/p>\n\n

Can you tell us about Marsault\u2019s environmental approach to candle-making?<\/em><\/strong>Marceau – Sustainability lies at the heart of Marsault.<\/em> The idea is to repurpose used Champagne bottles that would otherwise be destined for landfill or recycling, by giving them a second life. We would never consider using an environmentally-friendly glass container without suitable materials that also fulfil the brief.Marie – Which is essentially why all the materials we use are eco-friendly.<\/em> The wicks are made from non-treated wood or organic cotton. Our perfumes are entirely free from CMR* substances, and for the wax, there are three different materials on the market: mineral, animal and plant-based. The first is a by-product of paraffin, which is harmful to the environment and not good for the home either. The second comes from beeswax, and finally, the one we use, is plant-based, made from soy and coconut.<\/p>\n\n
