Inspiration: A tribute to Grasse know-how
A stroll through Grasse, the city of a thousand scents, the city of leather craftsmanship and flowers. The bells toll, night falls over the serene hills of the city, the tuberoses exhale their narcotic fragrance. Uniting dusky tuberose with tanned leather—an homage to the heritage of Grasse.
"The tuberose enfleurage and leather seemed like an obvious choice to me, in memory of a summer stay in Grasse. This fragrance became a tribute to Grasse and its craftsmanship, which I so admire." — Ludovic Bonneton
Perfumer: Serge de Oliveira
"Ludovic's inspiration immediately resonated with me; the tribute is paid by the narcotic tuberose, symbolizing the Grasse sunset, enveloped in a suede cocoon."
Tuberose absolute Grasse enfleurage
Originally from Mexico, it was introduced to the fields of Grasse in the 16th century. Capricious, rare, and demanding, it draws a lot of energy from the soil, and its bulbs must be uprooted to prevent them from freezing in winter. The flowering period is short in summer, and the flower is harvested at sunset, when its fragrance is most intense. Each flower used in the fragrance was manually placed, one by one, into a frame lined with vegetable fat, allowing it to absorb the scent—a craft dating back to ancient times. Having disappeared from Grasse in the 1970s, it was reintroduced in the early 2000s to restore it to the heritage of Grasse.
How do you manage to offer more affordable niche fragrances?
The answer is simple: less margin and products made with local suppliers. Everything is in the ingredients, the creation and the bottle! Local manufacturing allows us to minimize transportation costs while fully valuing French know-how. We thus set up a virtuous circuit between the perfumer and the friends of the House.
Do your perfumes last long on the skin?
Yes, we have chosen to offer all our creations in Eau de Parfum, which is more concentrated than Eau de Toilette. When talking about the lastingness of a perfume, we must also take into account the skin's pH level. A perfume will last in a different way from one person to another.
To know more about the different concentrations, read our perfume guide.
Do your perfumes contain synthetic ingredients?
Our fragrances have been developed to contain between 82% and 99% ingredients of natural origin. They have been carefully selected to meet the strictest health and safety standards. Our perfumers always look for the best natural ingredients, as long as these raw materials are non-allergenic and the extraction of their essence respects our planet and is possible.
Our perfumes are therefore sustainable. If you want to know more about our clean fragrances, discover our commitments.
What is a top note, a heart note, a base note?
Perfumes are designed according to an olfactory pyramid:
- Top notes: These are the first scents you smell when you spray a perfume. They are often quite fresh and evaporate quite quickly on your skin (a few minutes).
- Heart notes: They appear as the head evaporates. They will stay with you for a few hours.
- The base notes: This is the scent that you smell at the end of the day and that is absorbed by your clothes. It includes less volatile raw materials such as woods. Want to know more? Find our guide to know everything about the different types of notes.
What is the best way to apply perfume?
The fragrance lasts longer on the pulse points of your body. These can be the neck, the hollow behind the ear, the wrists. Some people prefer a few sprays on clothing.

Do your perfumes contain alcohol?
