Step 1: The Origins of Perfume

Your journey begins with an immersion in the history of the estate. Under the morning sun, you will be introduced to the secrets of this exceptional land and the programme for this morning dedicated to the ‘Queen of Flowers’.

Step 2: Dialogue in the Heart of the Fields

Stroll along the rows of flowers during a guided tour with the producer. A true guardian of ancestral know-how, he will share with you anecdotes from his daily life, the demands of the Grasse region and the uniqueness of the Centifolia rose.

Step 3: The Moment of Harvesting

It's harvest time. Learn the delicate, ancestral technique of picking roses without damaging their petals. This moment suspended in time is the perfect opportunity to capture the beauty of the landscape through your lens, between wicker baskets and velvety petals.
