Pour L’air

Pour l’air is about finding moments to love in the everyday. We use scent and stories that ignite inspiration and ideas. Room fragrances that enhance the everyday.

The stories and look of the candles are inspired by writers sitting in a corner of a café or a cozy home writing out thoughts of living light. The handwriting, the typewriter font, the letterpress labels are designed to create the feeling of someone telling you a story, and you get to put yourself in it. Each story has a purpose. The box is inspired by a young Paul Newman in a white cotton tshirt, it is 100% cotton and meant to be kept with mementos from a day you loved. I loved you today is a reminder to look at each day and find something to love in it.

About 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. They are made to pair with spaces to add poetry to the air.

Chocolate and Steel

About Designer, Christine Street

Growing up in the suburbs of Los Angeles, my childhood smelled like oranges, tasted like avocado, felt like a perfect cannonball into a cool pool and every day looked like a new adventure. Whether it was making mud pies in the back yard, or playing with one of my family’s many pets, a sense of cheerful exploration filled my early days. This set the stage for what would eventually become Chocolate and Steel.

My dad operated a family owned print shop and I was the lucky recipient of scraps of discarded projects that I turned into collages or clothes for my dolls. It was here, too, a seed was planted that would become a deep appreciation for small business and local products made with love.

My hobby became a full time business in 2008 after my son was born. I carved out a corner of our living room and set up shop. Chocolate and Steel has since grown into a small group of artisans and our dog Ninja with our very own studio. The studio is solar powered and we work with a small local LA casting studio. We take every care to maintain the integrity of American made products and processes with each step in crafting our jewelry.
