Delphine Reposeur began making her own candles when she searched in vain to find vegan candles for her own use. She purchased soy wax and began experimenting with different scents and styles. Her candle creations drew the admiration of her friends, and a business was born, La Bougie Herbivore (@labougieherbivore).
