The hills above Grasse

Le Bar-sur-Loup rises among limestone hills, flower fields, citrus groves, and aromatic scrub. For centuries, growers and distillers have followed the season, gathering delicate blossoms at the right hour and carrying them quickly from field to workshop.

Grasse

A living perfumery

Jasmine, rose, orange blossom, lavender, resin, and citrus gave the region its vocabulary. Distillation and extraction made their fleeting character last, joining agriculture, chemistry, memory, and the trained instinct of the perfumer.

Mane

A landscape of aromatic plants

Farther north, the country around Mane opens into lavender fields, dry hills, and high plateaus. Aromatic plants have long been gathered and cultivated here, linking the agricultural life of Haute-Provence with the perfume traditions to the south.
