What you can expect

Located at the foot of the Church of Notre-Dame des Fleurs in Plascassier, one of the oldest hamlets in Grasse, this historic estate, dedicated to growing flowers for high-end French perfumery, invites you to discover a vibrant place committed to organic farming and UEBT-certified.

  1. Discovering the estate and its history
    Begin your tour with an introduction to the estate, a true cradle of perfumery since 1753. Immerse yourself in the history of the great perfume flowers and in the traditions of Grasse, which have been recognised as part of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage.

  2. Immerse yourself in the heart of the flower fields
    Stroll among our iconic crops: Rosa centifolia, Jasminum grandiflorum, and Citrus aurantium. Amid golden light and enchanting scents, experience a moment suspended in time, in close contact with nature.
    If the flowers are in bloom, you can witness the meticulous harvesting process, which preserves the integrity and effectiveness of our plant-based ingredients.

Option to include an Olfaction Session
Scenting session to discover the floral essences used in haute parfumerie
Explore the various essences derived from the flowers grown on the estate and used in haute parfumerie. Through a guided sensory experience, discover the olfactory subtleties, the aromatic facets, and the role of each essence in the composition of a perfume.

Option with Mini Perfume Creation Workshop
From Flower to Fragrance – Extraction and Creation
Learn how flowers are transformed into precious essences through various extraction methods, and how these raw materials are used in haute parfumerie.
Then, learn the art of composition during an olfactory session focusing on 6 accords:

  • 2 head notes
  • 2 heart notes, including a blend representing the flower of the season
  • 2 base notes

Guided by a perfumer, you will create your own personalised eau de parfum by blending the accords that will make up your olfactory signature.
Your creation is then bottled in an elegant clear-glass spray bottle (15 ml), which you will take home as a unique souvenir of your experience.

Exclusive experience certified “Chemins Parfumés” by Pays de Grasse Tourisme.

This experience will take place subject to a minimum of 6 people. If the minimum number is not met, the experience will be refunded to the original payment method.
