  Welded together: oldfashioned cuprum distillation

Parfume and Grasse are two words that are almost synonimous to one another. All great parfume brands order here their escence and then give it some (commercially responsible and so nothing actually important) name. Chanel, Sabatini, Dolce & Gabanna ... name it and they just name the product after changing it a little bit. Here however are the large "factories" that produce the real thing. "Usine" they are called and Fragonard and Molinard are the most popular. Besides tours through their laboratories, they also provide in the right season, tours through their flowerfields. Galimard is another famous name in the industry.

Address: Usine Fragonard: Boulevard Fragonard 20...
Directions: ... or Carrefour des Quartre Chemins / Route de Cannes.
In any case, follow the huge yellow signs.
