L’Arc Perfumes

is a unique perfume house

rooted in the LOVE OF ART & TRAVEl.

It is named after a major element of architecture:

THE ARCH,
a structural figure SPANNING
THE OPENING BETWEEN TWO POINTS
like a BRIDGE connecting TWO WORLDS.

L’Arc, as a METAPHOR,
perfectly illustrates the ambition of the house:
each fragrance invites us to CROSS OVER to another shore,
whether physical or spiritual,
like an OLFACTIVE ODYSSEY.
 L’Arc
invites us to a real
ODYSSEY of senses.
ODYSSEY DEFINITION:
- feminine name -
Long period full of adventures, extraordinary events (like Ulysses’).
 L’Arc BRIDGES THE GAP between countries
across the world, seeking out the best available
NATURALAND ORGANIC INGREDIENTS,
gathered from sustainable sources.

Established in GRASSE,
the perfume house pays tribute
to the LEGACY OF FRENCH PERFUMERY,
as well as to our adventurer whose first travel log begins
at the gateway to the Mediterranean.
 THE FRENCH PERFUMERS
Julien Rasquinet & Jean-Claude Astier,
the SWISS Marc-Daniel Heimgartner,
and the SPANISH Christian Carbonnel,
took on the task of
RESURRECTING THE MEMORIES
of the MASTER ARCHITECT-PERFUMER
into two distinct and complementary collections:

VOYAGE
ODYSSEY
&
MEMOIRE
ODYSSEY

 L’Arc Fragrance originates
from the discovery of an ANCIENT TRAVEL BOOK
dating from the late eighteenth century,
which belonged to Maître de Claude an EXTRAORDINARY
FRENCH MASTER ARCHITECT-PERFUMER.

His infinitely rich writings are a wonderful testimony

to a NEW ERA, a heritage of the Enlightenment
which OPENED UP to the whole world in search
of knowledge, science, DIFFERENT CULTURES
and artistic exchanges.
 It is also the story of an
REMARKABLE
MAN,
a true PIONEERING ADVENTURER,
who left France to reach South America
through BEWILDERING TRAVELS

On the road,
his passion for ARCHITECTURE
will be matched by that of PERFUMES.
