Memoirs: Lampe Berger.. Ayant l'expression des choses infinies

[girl holding a bouquet of flowers]
Correspondences

Nature is a temple where living pillars
Let escape sometimes confused words;
Man traverses it through forests of symbols
That observe him with familiar glances.

Like long echoes that intermingle from afar
In a dark and profound unity,
Vast like the night and like the light,
The perfumes, the colors and the sounds respond.

There are perfumes fresh like the skin of infants
Sweet like oboes, green like prairies,
—And others corrupted, rich and triumphant

That have the expanse of infinite things,
Like ambergris, musk, balsam and incense,
Which sing the ecstasies of the mind and senses.

 

       -Charles Baudelaire

The above are some of the suggested diffusers for Lampe Berger's Senteur d'antan, recalling the days of long ago. These are made of Limoges by Haviland. There are many more attractive and unusual diffusers on Lampe Berger's official site.

The diffusers are filled with scented oils specially formulated by Lampe Berger to purify and scent the air. There must be more than thirty scents to choose from, eight signature scents, and new ones being released every year. Of the ones I've tried, I particularly like 'The Vert' and 'LavandorOrange'.

There is also a Signature Collection of diffusers by invited designers. Régis Dho is Lampe Berger's Artistic Director and many of the diffusers are by him. The names and pictures of some of them are below. They look wonderful on a mantel piece or even in a display cabinet without the need to use them as diffusers. They look like the lovely collectables they are, not many who don't know about Lampe Berger would think they are lamps!
