Meet the Urbanites

Grasse historic City (Place aux Aires) @capg Hôtel Pontevès. @capg Grasse historic City (Place aux Aires) @capg The decline of the flower fields was particularly heartbreaking for Jean-Pierre Leleux, whose memories of boyhood in the 1950s are inextricable from the “inebriating” scents of Grasse’s flower fields. As the mayor of Grasse from 1995 to 2014, Leleux was well placed to do something and, with TV journalist Nadia Bedar, he set about applying to UNESCO for inclusion on the Intangible Cultural Heritage list – a relatively new status created in 2003 to recognise and protect certain skills and traditions. Miller Harris breathes colour and life into the classic perfumer's art, with complex couture fragrances designed to tell vivid urban stories. They honour nature by sourcing the finest raw materials and preserving the delicacy of the ingredients, then curate, combine and harmonise them to create perfumes that combine Parisian elegance with London's eclectic street styles. A visit to Grasse would also not be complete without a stroll past the shops and town houses lining the pretty Place aux Aires. At independent perfumer and nose Jessica Buchanan’s chic boutique, 1,000 Flowers, you can select the perfect memento of your visit to Grasse from a scintillating range of signature fragrances based on natural absolutes from the Pays de Grasse. The world capital of perfumery, the Mediterranean city of Grasse hasn’t always smelled of roses, as Jennifer Ladonne discovers

Fragonard perfumers, founded in 1926, adopted the illustrious name for their perfume works and boutiques, which dot the Côte d’Azur and Paris. The Grasse factory is open to the public daily and you can even sign up for a perfume workshop. But Grasse has not always smelled like roses. Tanners found the region’s many rivers indispensable to their trade – a notoriously foul-smelling one due to the stench of decaying hides, not to mention the use of animal excrement in the tanning process – which thrived here from the 12th century onward. Prized by the French nobility, Grasse’s leather products – especially its supple gloves – reeked. American journalist Jennifer Ladonne, a Paris resident since 2004, writes regular features on French heritage, culture, travel, food & wine for France Today magazine, and is the restaurants and hotels reviewer for Fodor's Paris, France and Provence travel guides. Her articles have appeared in CNN Travel, AFAR, The Huffington Post, MSN and Business Insider.

However evanescent the nature of perfume or intangible the expertise that goes into it, the many people and professions that make Grasse unique in the world are determined to keep this particular romance alive. Jérôme Viaud, the current mayor of Grasse, who has invested mightily in the project, summed it up best: “We will not let our fabulous legacy, handed down by dozens of generations, disappear from human history”.
