JEANNE ARTHES is established in Grasse since 1978, the choice of this area was not made at random. Located on sweet hills, halfway between the Mediterranean sea and the Alps, it is where perfumery started as known nowadays. It is during the 16th century that perfumery was to become a part of the city's history. At this time one of the main activities in the city was to tan leather but the mediocrity of the method urged glover to perfume leather with powerful fragrances. This fashion, inspired by italian and spanish nobles was so successful that it soon created the profession of glover perfumer which almost imposed it's monopoly upon the perfume distribution. Finally, it is during the 18th century that the city became the most important production center of vegetarian raw material. A real perfume industry was then developed in Grasse, where many well known manufacturers who made today's perfumery's reputation were established. JEANNE ARTHES was created by Marie Jeanne COMBREDET and Bernard Jean PERRIN. They both acquired a strong experience within famous houses of perfumery specialized in the manufacturing of essential oils and perfume compounds. After being involved in the universe of raw materials, the conquest of the public with exquisite perfumes became their new challenge. By the association of their competences and a very good relationship, they soon knew how to anticipate the evolution of a changing market and develop a range of products perfectly adapted to the demand. It is with the export trade that they encountered the biggest success. Their creativity soon rewarded them more than expected. In the 80's, JEANNE ARTHES was one of the first companies to head towards these huge commercial platforms of the middle east.
To be more creative and able to face the growing and accurate demand of customers, it created its own production arm: the company FRANCE FEELING. Nowadays the company is located in a light industrial area and has at its disposal a production and stock area covering a surface of 11500 sqm.
As far as fragrances are concerned, the company chooses its partners among the most prestigious houses located in Grasse. The quality of its perfumes, the fineness of its bottles and the care brought to its packaging ensures the success it keeps gaining among customers worldwide. JEANNE ARTHES has developed a wide range of perfumery products, including around a 100 references, and develops more than a dozen new products each year.
