The Operator strives to guarantee optimal availability of its Products. Product offers are valid while stocks last.
If, despite the best efforts of the Operator, a Product proves to be unavailable after the Customer's order, the Operator will inform the Customer by email as soon as possible and the Customer will have the choice between:
- the delivery of a Product of a quality and price equivalent to that initially ordered, or
- reimbursement of the price of the Product ordered at the latest within thirty (30) days of payment of the amounts already paid.
It is agreed that apart from the reimbursement of the price of the unavailable Product, if this option is requested by the Customer, the Operator is not liable for any cancellation compensation, unless the non-performance of the contract is personally attributable to him.

When placing an order, the Customer must select the chosen Products, add them to their basket, indicating the selected Products and the desired quantities.

Confirmation of the order entails acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions and forms the contract.
A copy of these General Conditions as accepted by the Customer will be sent to the Customer by e-mail at the time of confirmation of their Order so that the latter can refer to them.
The contractual information relating to the order (including in particular the order number) will be confirmed by e-mail in good time and at the latest at the time of delivery. The Operator strongly advises the Customer to print and/or archive this order confirmation on a reliable and durable medium as proof.

- The Customer's order history shows that sums remain due for previous orders;
- One of the Customer's previous orders is the subject of a dispute currently being processed;
- The Customer did not respond to a request for confirmation of his order that the Operator sent to him.

Article 6 – PAYMENT TERMS AND SECURITY
The Customer expressly acknowledges that any order placed on the Site is an order with payment obligation, which requires the payment of a price in exchange for the supply of the Product ordered.
In any event, the Operator reserves the right to check the validity of the payment, before shipping the order, by all necessary means.
The Operator uses the Stripe online payment solution .
Orders can be paid using one of the following payment methods:
- Payment by credit card. Payment is made directly on the secure banking servers of the Operator's bank; the Customer's bank details do not pass through the Site. The bank details communicated during payment are protected by an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption process. In this way, these contact details are not accessible to third parties.
The Customer's order is recorded and validated upon acceptance of payment by the bank.
The Customer's account will be debited for the corresponding amount only when (i) the details of the bank card used have been verified and (ii) the debit has been accepted by the bank that issued the bank card.
The inability to debit the sums due will result in the immediate nullity of the sale.
The bank card may in particular be refused if it has expired, if it has reached the maximum spending amount to which the Customer is entitled or if the data entered is incorrect.
Where applicable, the order validated by the Customer will only be considered effective when the secure banking payment center has given its agreement to the transaction.
As part of the control procedures, the Operator may have to ask the Customer for all the documents necessary to finalize their order. These parts will not be used for any purpose other than these.
Article 7 – PAYMENT OF THE PRICE
The price of the Products in effect at the time of the order is indicated in euros, all taxes included (TTC), excluding delivery and transport costs. In the event of a promotion, the Operator undertakes to apply the promotional price to any order placed during the period of advertising for the promotion.
The price is payable in euros (€) exclusively. The price is due in full after confirmation of the order. The prices offered include discounts and rebates that the Operator may grant.
If delivery or transport costs apply, they will be added to the price of the Products and indicated separately before validation of the order by the Customer. The total amount owed by the Customer and its details are indicated on the order confirmation page.
Article 8 – FORMATION OF THE CONTRACT
The contract between the Operator and the Customer is formed when the Customer sends the confirmation of his order.
The Customer's attention is particularly drawn to the method of acceptance of the order placed on the Site. When the Customer places his order he must confirm it by the “double-click” technique, that is to say that after having selected Products added to the basket, the Customer must check and possibly correct the content of his basket (identification, quantity of products selected, price, terms and delivery costs) before validating it by clicking on “I validate my delivery”, then he acknowledges accepting these T&Cs before clicking on the “I pay” button, finally he validates his order after having filled in his bank details. The “double click” constitutes an electronic signature and is equivalent to a handwritten signature. It constitutes irrevocable and unreserved acceptance of the order by the Customer.
The archiving of communications, purchase orders and invoices is ensured by the Operator on a reliable and durable medium so as to constitute a faithful and durable copy. These communications, purchase orders and invoices may be produced as proof of the contract. Unless proven otherwise, the data recorded by the Operator on the Internet or by telephone constitutes proof of all transactions between the Operator and its Customers.
The order can be resolved by the Customer by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt or by writing on another durable medium in the event of:
- delivery of a Product that does not conform to the declared characteristics of the Product;
- delivery exceeding the deadline set in the order form or, in the absence of such a date, within thirty (30) days following the conclusion of the contract, after the Operator has been requested, according to the same terms and without result, to make delivery within a reasonable additional time;
- price increase which is not justified by a technical modification of the product imposed by the public authorities.
In all these cases, the Customer may demand reimbursement of the deposit paid plus interest calculated at the legal rate from the date of receipt of the deposit.
The order can be resolved by the Operator in the event of:
- refusal of the buyer to take delivery;
- non-payment of the price (or the balance of the price) at the time of delivery.

❞ It is the story of a deep desire to create and to do it differently.
It is an optimistic creation bringing together renowned perfumers, exceptional raw materials, innovation and respect for life.
It is a poem of virtuous materials. Cork, French glass, shell powder, local beet alcohol, paper fibers from sustainable forests and vegetable inks make up this unique story.
It's an odyssey of small steps, where most of the protagonists evolve a few dozen kilometers from each other.
La petite Madeleine is all that and much more. ❞

OUR HISTORY
We are Sophie and Guillaume Dufay, both lovers and creators of La petite Madeleine.
Like many people, having children has called into question our way of consuming. What do we put on the skin, where was the product made, by whom?
The realization came quite quickly: we want to pass on a better quality, more durable, more desirable product.
We then imagine how to make scented products differently. Our workshop located in Troyes allows us to make, remake and manufacture our products. Step by step a path emerges.
![](http://lapetitemadeleine.com/cdn/shop/files/277267FC-D49C-4700-82BC-DC287768F082.jpg?v=1687862373&width=1500)
On April 1, 2021 we are offering scented cold saponified soaps. Entirely made by hand from exceptional raw materials and associated with perfumers, they will delight you.
An artisanal process that preserves the benefits of ingredients and limits the impact on the environment.
Four to six weeks of maturation are necessary for our soap to provide all the softness to your skin.
![](http://lapetitemadeleine.com/cdn/shop/files/La_petite_Madeleine_-_EDP_100ML_Sous_le_silence_de_la_rose_4.jpg?v=1693298510&width=1500)
What if we went further by developing eau de parfum differently? A real fragrant alternative, more committed, more artisanal with a territorial anchor.
What if we reimagined our cork as a unique, hand-crafted piece? What if this piece of object offered a second life to natural material? This is what we offer you. As we are dreamers, we will continue to write poems to create each olfactory story.
April 1, 2022: the eau de parfums are here. Humbly, our desire is to promote the different trades and know-how of our territory. Each bringing their expertise and a stone to the building of our olfactory stories. It is an authentic development that we wish to bring up to date.
OUR ENGAGEMENTS
![](http://lapetitemadeleine.com/cdn/shop/files/La_petite_Madeleine_-_bouchon_coquillages-2.jpg?v=1693298510&width=1500)
CAP
In an industry exclusively dominated by metallized plastic parts, we wanted to offer another alternative. Create an object perfume.
Cork is produced in France, specially created for our olfactory stories. It comes from the remaking of wine bottle corks and male and female cork peels.
We then called on two talented designers to design the object. Their work around the valorization of already existing materials left an impression on us. The pebble is made from shells, evoking travel, freedom and marine movement. The cork and the pebble are then linked to form a single whole for our perfumes. All crafted by hand.
This is why each eau de parfum is unique.

TERRITORIAL ANCHORAGE
The decorations – the patterns on the bottle – are made 50 km from our workshop by a family business.
Each case was printed 30 km from our workshop by a family business whose fifth generation is at its head.
Vegetable inks are used on selected papers from sustainable forests.
Their know-how and our proximity convinced us.

LOGISTIC
Too often, logistics is the link in the chain that is put aside, even though it is essential. We work on this part with another local actor, 3 km from the workshop. A so-called “adapted” company which favors social reintegration.
