L'Antidote

L'Antidote — A Story of Resilience

L'Antidote was born in the summer of 2019 in Provence, founded by Marie-Caroline Guérin.

At the time, Marie-Caroline was immersed in a demanding career in import-export and found herself physically and emotionally exhausted. Though she longed to embark on an entrepreneurial journey, the moment to leap forward never seemed to arrive.

That changed in early June 2019, when she was diagnosed with an aggressive and extensive form of breast cancer. Faced with urgency and uncertainty, Marie-Caroline sought a way to channel her energy and manage her anxiety. Between medical appointments and chemotherapy sessions, she began crafting candles—an act that soon transformed into a calling.

That summer, she launched L'ANTIDOTE, a brand of sustainable, plant-based scented candles. The response was immediate and overwhelmingly positive. More than a business, it became a form of healing—a way to turn toward light during a dark chapter of her life.

Each candle is a reflection of her journey—what she calls her “spiritual antidotes”—infused with meaning, intention, and resilience.

L'Antidote is not just a brand. It is the beginning of a story—
A story of strength, of light, and of starting anew.
