For a gourmet Candlemas

We are fast approaching one of the most gourmet days of the year: Candlemas! 

 
Do you know where this popular day comes from? A bit of history before we share with you our suggestions for the occasion.
 
 
Originally, this Feast celebrated the end of winter and the return to the fields on sunny days. People ate crepes symbolizing the sun and the prosperity of the coming year. Celebrated 40 days after Christmas, it was named because of the candles traditionally lit for the occasion. To bring good luck and success to the home, a gold coin was held in one's left hand while flipping the first crepe with the other hand.

Combine Alain Milliat's perfumes for an exquisite Candlemas:

The delicacy of Raspberry nectar with the intensity of Passion fruit jam
 
Pétillant de raisin et confiture fruit de la passion Alain Milliat
