In the secret of Grasse's noses: the art of the Collines de Provence perfumer

For over forty years, Collines de Provence has drawn on the tradition of Grasse perfumery to compose its scents. Expertise that we wanted to help you discover up close.

A natural ingredient, sublimated

Orange blossom, ebony wood, bergamot, white cotton... our Grasse-based noses work with each raw material to reveal its richness, then compose accords by marrying two scents that resonate with each other: vanilla and grapefruit, rose and hibiscus, amber and heliotrope, mandarin and yuzu.

A language all our own

Over time, we have invented our own way of naming these scent marriages: pairing two perfumes by keeping their common first letter. This is how Basil and Bergamot, Rose and Rhubarb, or even Vanilla and Vetiver were born—duos that can be found today in several of our collections.

From formula to bottle

All our formulas, whether for our perfumes or our cosmetics, are exclusive and non-replicable. Once composed, they take shape in our Haute-Provence workshops, where every candle and every diffuser is still handcrafted.
