Join us for an exclusive Online Perfume Masterclass

A collaboration with Maison Sulékó, live from Paris

Explore the spectacular Mimosa Forest in Provence In winter, the “Route du Mimosa” is a wave of gold, sparkling like the sun, rolling between the snow-covered Alps and the Mediterranean Sea. There lies the Massif du Tanneron, the largest mimosa forest in Europe and experience this magical moment through the eyes of a passionate perfume-designer! 

Find out about the history of Mimosa in Provence and how a tree from Australia became the symbol of Provence.

Follow Anastasia in three of her favorite treks to discover Mimosa: you will start in the heart of the Tanneron Forest and dive into an ocean of Mimosa, then you will go further up the hills where Mimosa is intertwined with eucalyptus trees; finally, you will hike on majestic Esterel, the Mediterranean coastal mountain.

You will fully immerse in Provence and you will unlock the scented atmosphere of each trek. You will discover how climate, location and soil impact your perception of Mimosa.

Finally, understand how Mimosa and Eucalyptus provided by local farmers are processed to obtain a precious “absolue” and essential oil for perfume creation. 
Learn about the language of scents and the secret messages locked in the scent of Mimosa and Eucalyptus.

Bring to your home the beauty and poetry of Provence in full bloom and inspire you to visit it yourself one day!
