Find out below what sets a Grasse perfume apart, how to choose and apply it, and the answers to your questions before making a purchase.
Grasse, the global birthplace of perfumery
The town of Grasse, in Provence, has been cultivating the art of perfumery for several centuries. Its microclimate has allowed the flourishing of perfume-producing flowers—rose, jasmine, and Orange Blossom —and the emergence of expertise recognized around the world. A perfume from Grasse embodies these high standards: rigorous selection of ingredients, mastery of fragrance combinations, and the pursuit of olfactory balance.
At Panier des Sens, each fragrance is inspired by this heritage and made in France. Our blends feature a high proportion of naturally derived ingredients, resulting in authentic fragrances that capture the essence of Provence and the Mediterranean.
Eau de Parfum or eau de toilette : Understanding the Difference
The distinction lies in the concentration of fragrance ingredients. An eau de parfum is more concentrated: its scent is intense and often lasts more than 6 to 8 hours, making it ideal for evenings and special occasions.
A eau de toilette is lighter and fresher, perfect for everyday wear, with a scent that lasts 4 to 6 hours. The choice depends on the intensity you’re looking for and when you wear your Grasse fragrance.
How to Apply and Make Your Grasse Perfume Last
To maximize the fragrance's longevity, apply your Grasse perfume to your body's pulse points: wrists, nape of the neck, and the inside of your elbows. Spray from about 15 cm away from the skin, preferably after a shower, on clean, moisturized skin. Nourished skin retains fragrance better.
Scent layering further extends the scent trail: start with a scented shower gel from the same fragrance family, follow with a body care product, and then apply your perfume. This layering creates a cohesive signature from morning to night.
Choosing a Grasse Perfume That Matches Your Personality
Our collection features a variety of scents: citrusy and sunny notes for bright days, white florals for elegance and softness, and woody notes for depth and character. Take the time to test the fragrance on your skin, as it evolves when it comes into contact with your natural chemistry.
To explore a variety of worlds, the collection expands to include our eaux de parfum and our eaux de toilette, so you can create a signature scent that reflects who you are.
