Jean de Galimard, Lord of Seranon, related to the Count of Thorenc
and great friend of Goethe, lived in Grasse where in 1747 he created the Parfumerie Galimard. As founder of the corporation of "Glove makers and Perfumers", he supplied the court of Louis, "the well-beloved", King of France, with olive oil, pomades, and perfumes of which he invented the first formulas. For over 250 years, the Parfumerie Galimard has been following the same traditions as its renowned founder and uses the very processes which made its name famous. As in the past, their source is the nature of Grasse - jasmine, rose, lavender, orange flower, tuberose - from which they obtain our rich scents. Only the use of traditional methods can guarantee their incomparable fine quality. Their extensive catalog of personal and home products is unrivaled and features a gift set complete with a silk scarf.
