"I take her to Tanneron, on the other side of the moors, on a day when the wind is howling and the sun is shining. The passage runs through the sky amid an opulent landscape with slopes fading beneath the mimosas. I came home with yellow spots before my eyes and a whirl of light inside me." – Albert Camus and Maria Casarès, Correspondence, Gallimard 2018
‘Mimosa arrived in Provence in the mid-19th century. Mimosa extract first appeared in perfumery in the 1940s. Since then, mimosa has often been found in the most famous and prestigious compositions.’ – Jean-Claude Ellena
Mimosa Tanneron is an ode to the tenderness, sweetness and sensations of blossoming love.
Perris Monte Carlo – Fragrances from Grasse
Following the success of the Les Parfums de Grasse collection, launched in April 2019, Perris Monte Carlo is delighted to launch two more olfactory creations. They are dedicated to the capital of fine perfume, the city of Grasse.
Jean-Claude Ellena, the famous nose with an international reputation, who was born and raised in Grasse, has created the Grasse Collection for Perris Monte Carlo. Gian Luca Perris, artistic director and founder of the Perris Monte Carlo brand, greatly appreciates working with master perfumer Ellena. He asked him to capture the magnificent, fragrant environment of Grasse in fragrances.
‘... Jean Claude calls himself the “writer of fragrances”, I love to call him the perfume poet, and it has been a real privilege to work with him on this project.’ – Gian Luca Perris
Following Jasmin de Pays and Rose de Mai, Perris Monte Carlo's sensual journey continues with two more symbolic flowers from the Grasse collection: mimosa and lavender, translated as Mimosa Tanneron and Lavande Romaine.
