A Perfumer’s Garden in Grasse
A Perfumer’s Garden in Grasse
Designed by James Basson
Designed by James Basson
The perfume industry in Grasse has been in decline for several years and many of the traditional plantations have become overgrown, but now with the support of ecologically-sensitive companies like L'Occitane, the industry is experiencing a significant renaissance. The garden is designed to reflect this with historic elements and a more naturalistic view to represent the history of the perfume industry combined with an emerging, more tended feel that shows the present day growing importance of Grasse for perfume.
The planting is designed to be aromatic, a sensation of smell, recreating the Provençal hillsides and the history of the perfume industry
