Come and create your bouquet of scented dried flowers in Aix-en-Provence: an unforgettable floral experience

16 September 2024

Looking for a creative, sensory activity in the heart of Provence? Imagine composing your own bouquet of delicately scented dried flowers in an enchanting setting. That’s exactly what you can do at Rose et Marius, the best address in Aix-en-Provence for a unique floral experience.

Why choose dried flowers?

Dried flowers are much more than just a trend. They represent timeless beauty and elegance, bringing a lasting touch of nature to your home. Unlike fresh flower bouquets, which fade in a matter of days, dried flowers retain their radiance and fragrance for months or even years. They’re perfect for those who want to enhance their décor with something that’s both beautiful and long-lasting.

A unique sensory experience

At Rose et Marius, each creation is an invitation to relax and express yourself. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be greeted by a soothing atmosphere, imbued with the gentle aromas of dried flowers and natural essences. Let our passionate experts guide you as you choose from an assortment of dried flowers carefully selected by Magali.

But that’s not all. We go even further by offering you the chance to add delicate fragrances to your bouquet. Choose from our sublime collection of room fragrances, and create a composition that will not only be beautiful to the eye, but also enchanting to your senses.

Here’s some advice on the scents to choose and their benefits:

  • Our Lavender scented spray:Lavender is ideal for scenting dried flowers, especially in a bedroom or relaxation area. Its soothing scent encourages relaxation and sleep. You can imagine yourself in the lavender fields of the Alpilles, where the delicate purple flowers tint the hills under the summer sun.

 

  • Our Cézanne fragrance spray, with cedar wood :Our fragrance an appointment with Cézanne takes on its full meaning thanks to the magic of the imagination, we’ve recreated an olfactory walk alongside the painter Cézanne, under the scorching summer sun. The bewitching aromas of immortelle flowers, aromatic herbs from the garrigue, and precious woods permeating the air of Provence have been infused into this ray of sunshine that we’ve captured for you in a bottle!

 

  • Our citrus and lime blossom scented spray:We imagine an orangery in Provence infused with the scents of linden trees in bloom, where the warmth of the summer air blends with the delicate notes of white flowers and the freshness of orange trees. This fresh, invigorating and refined fragrance is perfect for creating an atmosphere of well-being in the home.

The bright, energising citrus scents are perfect for brightening up a workspace or hallway, bringing freshness and vitality.

At La Maison Rose et Marius, a multitude of scents await you to enhance your bouquet and find the fragrance that suits you, inviting every visitor on a unique olfactory journey.

GOOD TO KNOW!

Dried flowers absorb and hold essential oils or fragrances, releasing them slowly, so your home stays delicately scented for months. Their porous texture facilitates the absorption and diffusion of fragrances, making dried flower bouquets an ideal solution for those who want to create a pleasant, long-lasting olfactory ambience in their living space.

The Art of composing your own bouquet

You don’t need to be an expert in floral art to help compose your own bouquet. Under the expert guidance of our team, you’ll learn how to combine colours, balance shapes and select the best flower combinations to create a harmonious and unique bouquet.

Our favourite dried flowers :

  • THE IMMORTELLE FLOWER

Picked in the sunny hills of Provence, immortelle flowers bloom, symbolising the timeless beauty of the region. These small, golden flowers, picked with care, are prized for their delicate fragrance and their ability to retain their radiance over time. Used both in bouquets and in scented compositions, they capture the very essence of Provençal nature, bringing a touch of softness and warmth to any interior.

  • LAVENDER

Our collection of extra blue lavender comes directly from the fields of a local producer on the Montagne Sainte-Victoire, an emblematic region of Provence. Hand-picked with care, this exceptional lavender is distinguished by its intense colour and soothing fragrance. A symbol of serenity and well-being, it’s perfect for delicately perfuming your home, while supporting local, sustainable agriculture.

We’ve also recently launched a new product: a lavender hydroalcoholic gel, made in Provence, which disinfects while leaving your hands soft and delicately scented. Like most of our products, our hydroalcoholic gels are refillable, to combine well-being and sustainability.

  • THISTLES

Thistles hold a special place in the heart of Magali, the creator of Rose et Marius. These wild flowers remind her of the precious arrangements she used to make as a child at the end of summer with her grandmother Rose. Their robust beauty and unique character embody memories of sharing and tenderness. Today, Magali incorporates them into her creations as a tribute to those childhood moments, infusing each bouquet with a little of that family history.

A souvenir of Provence to take home with you

Your bouquet will not only be a floral creation, but also a lasting souvenir of your visit to Provence. Every time you see it, it will remind you of the sweet scents and natural beauty of this exceptional region. What’s more, it’s the perfect gift idea to give your loved ones a taste of Provence.
