Perfume and the City of Grasse
The first perfume productions in Grasse date back to the 12th century. At that time, Grasse’s activity was primarily based on tanneries, particularly leather gloves. As leather gloves had an unpleasant odor, tanners had the idea of dipping them in perfume baths. This is where Grasse’s perfumery activity originated and has remained throughout the centuries.
Today, the greatest perfumers purchase the basic ingredients for perfumes in Grasse. Grasse’s essential oils and flower concentrates are the best in the world and have contributed to the prestige of French perfumes.
