I <b>have always been crazy about candles<\/b>. They have always been an integral part of my atmosphere at home.   <\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the time, there were few &#8211; or no &#8211; good quality candles in Morocco, and when I travelled, I always brought some back in my luggage. So I decided to start, first for myself, and then I quickly got into the game. I started with small pots in the kitchen. Then, very quickly, I took a small deposit to do my tests. At the time, nobody believed in it, I was regularly told I was crazy!    <\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But it doesn&#8217;t matter, I don&#8217;t care, I&#8217;m passionate about it, I don&#8217;t listen to anyone and I make my own way. I joined my son, Omar, in Tours, where he was studying, and took a technical course. As soon as I got back to Morocco, I moved up a gear and hired two or three employees.  <\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I settled in Sidi Ghanem, in a shop where my workshop is also located. I use high quality materials <b>(natural cotton wicks, perfumes from Grasse)<\/b>, and my models are always one creative step ahead. <\/p><h2 style=\"font-weight: var(--pchead-wei); font-family: var(--pchead-font); letter-spacing: normal;\"><i>A family story<\/i><\/h2><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 2005, my son joined me in the adventure.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>An inseparable pair<\/b>, complementary archis. Omar takes care of the management and commercial side of things, and I take care of the creative side, in which I thrive. And the new ideas are flowing! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotebougie.com\/fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Handmade candles by our craftsmen<\/a>, adapted to today&#8217;s trends.
