They have four stores around town but this one is located right along the water. It's a lovely facade outside, well organized and decorated on the inside. Ya girl loves a unicorn statue without fail. And all the scents that fly into your nostrils when you walk in are layered beauty. The designs are all by hand which each little block seeming like a piece of art. Also stamped with their signature, they come in a variety of scents, colors and designs. Staff wasn't friendly but they nicely wrapped up my soaps, so all is well. I loved all the unique shapes and designs here. Very fun store to get unique Marseille souvenirs at non-offensive pricing.

L'espace situé rue Saint-Ferréol fait 1500 m2, entièrement dédié à la beauté mais aussi à la ville de Marseille. Des expos, des défilés, des dédicaces d'auteurs d'artistes locaux se déroulent tout au long de l'année.

The products were taken from us as if we had intended to steal them. We ultimately decided to brush off the encounter and continue to browse their selection of products. Until we noticed that we were being followed by employees, which gradually became more and more aggressive until finally an employee was standing less than five feet from us. This was our breaking point and my friend finally addressed their hostility. She spoke to the employee and said, "hello?" the employee's response was to keep looking and to essentially pretend we weren't being followed like thieves. This was incredibly embarrassing and highly unwarranted granted the size purchase we ended up making. We were horribly mistreated and are left to wonder what we did to deserve such discourtesy.
