We are cosmetic detectives. We travel the world with our notebook and our magnifying glass looking for aromas, textures and stories. Sometimes, we discover products that have just been launched on the market. Other times, some that have been on the market for almost a century. That's right. Water of Menton, a eau de toilette which has been perfuming France since 1947.
When asked "what do you smell like?", you can tell the story of the Parisian perfumer Louis Berneux, who settled after World War II in Roquebrune Cap Martin, together with Mento, wanted to mix the best essences of lemon. This is a citrus village, which has been cultivating this fruit since the 15th century. His thing is strange, soft and somewhat sweet lemons. He invented Water of Menton that smells like a top secret mixture of natural lemon essential oils, softened by a touch of white musk. Its main notes? Lemon, bergamot, anise, petitgrain... And that's all we can tell.
