{"title":"Un Soir à l’Opéra - a collection of room fragrances and candles inspired by the great operas of the world","description":"\u003ch3\u003eBiography of the Founder\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Un Soir à l'Opéra” is not simply another candle brand; it is the \u003cb\u003eextension of a lifetime\u003c\/b\u003e. Indeed, I had the privilege of being raised to the rhythm of lyric opera and the secrets of the wings, where art is not only performed, but experienced daily through a tapestry of the theatre's wonderful professions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI owe my heritage to my mother, a \u003cb\u003eChorus Artist at the Opéra national de Paris\u003c\/b\u003e. The dressing rooms, the fly systems (cintres), and the old, worn parquet floors of the corridors became my secret world. As a little girl, I was often hidden in a discreet corner, out of sight, so I could absorb that unique atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI remember everything: the \u003cb\u003epowdery scent of the wigs\u003c\/b\u003e, my mother's dressing room filled with makeup and extravagant jewels, the burnished leather of the props, the velvet of the curtains that absorbed the powerful notes, and that inimitable, intoxicating mix of the stage just before the lights dimmed. These moments, where time seemed suspended between the effervescence of anticipation and the magic about to erupt, forged my most precious olfactory memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is from this immersion, this \u003cb\u003esensory alchemy between\u003c\/b\u003e art and the intimate, that “Un Soir à l'Opéra” was born. My ambition is simple: to capture the intensity of a Mozart aria, the lightness of a ballet tutu, or the dramatic tension of a final curtain, and transform them into a \u003cb\u003elasting and refined fragrance\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach scent is an invitation to rediscover the magic of those intense evenings in your everyday life. Far from fleeting trends, “Un Soir à l'Opéra” offers \u003cb\u003etimeless luxury\u003c\/b\u003e and an exceptional signature for discerning connoisseurs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKatia Gortchakoff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"carmen-candle-by-un-soir-a-l-opera","title":"Carmen scented candles by Un Soir à l’Opéra","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eTobacco leaves add a rich and deep dimension to the fragrance, often associated with warm and smoky notes.
