Molton Brown Valbonne
Next month award-winning beauty brand Molton Brown will add to their exciting fine fragrance collection Navigations Through Scent.

Valbonne (43° 38’ N, 7° 0’ E) is the latest addition to the brand’s first perfume collection, in which each product takes inspiration from the origins of scent and the ancient trade routes.

Valbonne will be landing in the global capital of perfume, Grasse, in the Provencal region of France.

Inspired by the leather tanning origins of the town and its historic association with fragrance making, Molton Brown has created a smell that fuses past with present. Valbonne (43° 38’ N, 7° 0’ E) is a leather-wrapped floral scent, with top notes of dewy orange flower and bergamot. Provencal mimosa, rose and deep purple orris are at its heart, followed by rich, base notes of vetyver and leather.

Jennifer Jambon, Molton Brown’s Principal Perfumer explained more about what the brand have tried to create with Valbonne and where the tones of the scent stem from.

“The old Gantier perfumers were renowned for the way they infused leather with local flowers and essential oils to create fashionable and luxurious scented gloves,” Jennifer explained.

“In Valbonne we have created a modern version of this traditional fragrance – starting with bergamot and orange flower, the scent combines with a floral heart made up of orris, rose, jasmine and mimosa from Grasse. The intense, woody base note is of leather with a hint of vetyver, which balances the overall fragrance to make it unisex.”

As the seventh launch within the Navigations Through Scent collection, Valbonne joins Iunu, Lijiang, Singosari, Apuldre, Rogart and limited edition Londinium.
