Close your eyes: the warm wind caresses the pines and cypresses, the figs release their sweet perfume, rosemary essences float in the air where the Mediterranean has deposited a few iodized notes…
You’re in a garden, in Mougins. A sweet sensation that can now be experienced anywhere, anytime, thanks to Eau de Mougins – Évasion, the olfactory signature of our destination.
To create this ambiance, the tourist office called on local specialist Camille Dol.
An obvious choice for the woman who confides: ” I grew up in Mougins. It was there, surrounded by plants and flowers, that my passion for perfume and scents was born. My grandmother had a magnificent garden. She ran a decorating store, and worked with a perfumer from Grasse who gave me the raw materials. I used to make my own soup and sell the perfumes at school. ”
Having fallen into the alchemist’s cauldron at an early age, Camille has never left her first love. After moving to Brazil with her parents, she returned to her native Côte d’Azur to pursue her studies. “During all this time, I have continued my sensory explorations and refined my knowledge. I’ve been lucky enough to travel extensively, discovering other cultures, new fragrances and interesting combinations of essences. ”
On the professional side, she has become an expert in helping brands create their olfactory products and has launched her own brand, L’Atelier C.: ” A very eco-responsible concept where I create perfume, candles, scrubs and soaps…”.
An olfactory postcard 100% made in Mougins
She was delighted and proud to accept the idea of creating a scent dedicated to Mougins.
” We had a lot of discussions with the teams at the tourist office, and the idea was to really draw inspiration from the village and its authenticity, its essences. We worked around the local natural beauty. I thought back to the little blends I used to make as a child with cypress, fig, a scent of lotus and wet earth.”
Once the composition was ready, everything was made in Camille’s workshops in Mougins, for a 100% local product!
A fragrance created like an olfactory postcard, to take a little Mougins with you wherever you go.
” It’s a proven fact that aromatic sensory memory is anchored in us forever, and it’s very powerful. One memory may be more powerful than another. The other day, a customer paid me a wonderful compliment: with tear-filled eyes, she confessed that this fragrance made her feel as if she were in the garden of her late grandmother, who lived in the Pibonson district of Mougins. “says Camille with a big smile. Mission accomplished!
