Le Cap Soleil at Brisbane French Christmas Markets 2022

The Story of How Le Cap Soleil Came to Be

At Le Cap Soleil, we sell high quality fragrance products for home and body, including scented candles, reed diffusers, linen sprays, room sprays, body sprays and more. Our fragrances are designed to elevate your surroundings and create a luxurious and relaxing atmosphere. But how did our store come to be? Here's the story:

The Beginnings

It all started with two friends (Myriam and Kaamraan) who shared a passion for fragrances and how they can impact our lives. We both loved how a particular scent could transport us to another place and evoke specific emotions. We often talked about how we could incorporate fragrances into our daily lives, and that's how the idea of starting our own fragrance business was born.

We knew we wanted to create a brand that offered high-quality fragrances made from natural ingredients. And there was no better place to look, than in the perfume capital of the world - the beautiful region of Provence in France. There, we found two very well regarded producers Lothantique and Collines de Provence whose values not only matched ours, but with their perfume making techniques going back centuries, we knew we were getting the crème de la crème.

The Store

Now that we had sourced top quality products, we were excited to start bringing them out to people around us. We started selling our products at pop-up stalls around Brisbane's local markets. The Brisbane French Christmas Market 2022 was our very first market, and we were blown away by the response! We received fantastic feedback from our customers, who loved the quality of our fragrances and how they felt it transformed their surroundings.

 It was very reassuring and motivating to receive such positive response from our customers. We knew we wanted to connect with customers all across Australia, but that wasn't going to be possible with just running pop-up market stalls around Brisbane.

We set out to build our online store, and with Kaamraan's chops in technical skills, and Myriam's keen eye for design and business, we were confident of creating an online store that we would be proud of.

What's Next

Today, our online store has grown to not only offer a much wider range of products than what we offer at our market stalls, we have also connected with customers as far as Tasmania in the south and Perth in the west. We still continue to run pop-up stalls at markets around Brisbane, and we cherish the in-person interactions we are able to have with our customers there. (Stay tuned for announcements on our next pop up market location)

We have come a long way from just a casual chat between friends about fragrances, to offering high-quality French fragrance products to customers all across Australia - but we are only just getting started. We are extremely grateful for all your support and we look forward to continuing to bring the luxury of fragrances to your homes and lives.

A bientot!
