The five perfumers have known each other for a long time. They all studied in Grasse, in the south of France, the capital of perfume.
They have one thing in common; they all lived, during their studies, in the former Banque de France in Grasse, a hotspot for student evenings in Grasse perfumery. It is therefore above all a strong relationship of friendship that binds them, beyond their common passion for perfume.
