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. Others, some who have been there for almost a century. This is Eau de Menton, a eau de toilette that has been perfuming France since 1947.
When they ask you "what do you smell like", you can tell the story of Parisian perfumer Louis Berneux, who settled after World War II in Roquebrune Cap Martin, next to Mento and wanted to mix the best essences of lemon. This is a citrus town, which has been cultivating this fruit since the 15th century. Strange, soft and somewhat sweet lemons are their thing. He invented Eau de Menton which smells like a top-secret blend of natural lemon essential oils, softened by a touch of white musk. Its main notes ? Lemon, bergamot, anise, petitgrain... And we can count up to this point
