Molinard
Established in 1849, this independent French house is a family affair. For five generations, several tons of flowers have been harvested each year on the land of Grass to create new fragrances with ancestral know-how. It is therefore naturally within the city of Grasse that the house has chosen to open its bastide to visitors from all over the world, to show them the whole process of manufacturing, from its distillery designed by Gustave Eiffel to its bar in Fragrances.
