Luxury In A Bottle

FRANCOIS DEMACHY was destined to be a perfumer.

He was borne in Grasse, the perfume-making capital of the world, where he literally grew up in fields of jasmine and roses - honing his sense of smell as the flowers' fragrance changed with the season.

In the summers, he would work at local perfume factories while he studied at Charabot, a 200-year-old perfume institution in Grasse, which ran a school for the profession.
