Flowers from Provence bring a wealth of meaning and emotion to perfumery. They capture the essence of this sunny, colorful region, offering unique and profound olfactory experiences. Each Provençal flower tells a story and adds an emotional dimension to fragrance creations.
Lavender
Lavender is probably the most emblematic flower of Provence. Also known as the blue gold of Provence, it symbolizes tranquility, serenity and purity. In perfumery, lavender is often used for its soothing, relaxing properties, providing an herbaceous, floral and slightly camphorated note. It evokes the softness of lavender fields under the Mediterranean sun.
You’ll find it in our Home Spray and pillow mist. Based on lavender, sage and chamomile. As elegant as it is relaxing, we bet you won’t be able to live without it!
Rose
The rose, particularly the centifolia rose from Grasse, is a universal symbol of love and passion. In Provence, the rose is also associated with beauty and elegance. Rose-based fragrances are often rich, lush and deeply feminine, capturing the essence of romance and sophistication.
