We had a bit of time to kill before our 4:30 tour--you need to call ahead!--and spent it in their lovely garden and shop. One of us only ever uses their hand creams, and they had a wide selection of scents here, so we bought a whole bunch to bring back as souvenirs. The tour itself was well done because you get to see all different parts of the factory and hear about their history, process, and philanthropic work. Overall, not too propaganda-y. (The labs are "secret" so you're not allowed in that part. Eye roll.) Our only complaint is that the tour was too long--the hour felt verrrrrry stretched out. Otherwise, we had a nice stop here on our way to Valensole. It's a pretty incredible company with an interesting history.

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.

Explaining how perfumes are made up of the base, heart & head notes, there seemed to be hundreds of bottles containing different smells We started with the base note & I chose my favorite 4, their expert chose the mixing amounts and e continued to build from there until I had my very own perfume Needs to macerate for the next 3 weeks but from what I can tell so far, I rocked this! I can't wait to wear my very own scent, designed and named by me!
