Grasse is also home to Galimard, a parfumerie established in 1747. Founder Jean de Galimard supplied King Louis and his court with perfume, pomades, and olive oil. The company still uses the natural resources native to Grasse—notably orange flower, tuberose, lavender, rose, and jasmine—to create its perfume. Galimard offers perfume-making workshops at Le Studio des Fragrances.
