Botanical Engineering
Hi! I’m Elodie, the French Canadian Founder of La Marcotterie. As an engineer, I was trained to pay attention to the fine print. One day, I flipped over the label of my body soap and found a list of synthetic ingredients I could barely pronounce. Curious (and a little alarmed), I searched for better options—only to find that most natural soaps smelled the same—lavender, peppermint… nice, but predictable. I craved something different. Something truly natural, yet refined.
So I grabbed my lab notes from University and started experimenting— blending sophisticated, rarely used botanicals with timeless classics to create scent profiles that felt truly unique. What began as a passion project quickly grew into something much bigger.
The Sweet Scent of Success
Eventually, I had to make a choice. I couldn’t balance both engineering and La Marcotterie… so I took a leap of faith. I left behind the security of a steady career to pursue something I believed in wholeheartedly.
Today, La Marcotterie offers a full line of natural products made in Chelsea—Canada, from nourishing body care to elegant bath rituals. Every formula is crafted in small batches using only natural ingredients, and scented with unique botanical blends you won’t find anywhere else.
And I’m no longer doing it alone. I’m lucky enough to now work with a small but mighty team—including my mom and my great uncle. My daughter Abigail is the cutest little helper we could hope for! Every product that leaves our workshop carries not just our craftsmanship, but also our family’s heart and hands.
At its core, La Marcotterie is about transforming the everyday— elevating your daily natural rituals with a one-of-a-kind scent experience.
I’m so glad you’ve found us.
