This exceptional facility located in Grasse, a UNESCO World Heritage site, re-strengthens our leadership in naturals and sustainability. We offer our customers privileged, intimate access to our exclusive natural materials, create here and around the world, to inspire winning Fine Fragrances for today’s conscious consumers and tomorrow’s trendsetters. Villa Botanica, a beautiful bastide on the hill of Peyloubet above Grasse, is a remarkable, 40,000-square-meter site, complete with gardens, creation workshop, stunning views of the mountains and sea.
Our Mediterranean bastide features gardens abundant with the prestigious essences of Provence and greenhouses alive with exotic natural ingredients from around the world - from rose Centifolia, mimosa and lavender to vetiver, cinnamon, patchouli and ylang.
My calling as a perfumer is rooted in my love of natural raw materials; I need to pick the flowers, crumple the leaves, smell the first fruits of each season. The floral productions from Grasse have no equal in perfumery heritage and are essential to us as composers of fragrance."
