United in life and sharing the same passion for their island and its generous nature, Patrick and Françoise Paquet have also joined forces professionally to create their own line of cosmetics and perfumes. Previously, Patrick, a doctor in chemistry and aromas, was in charge as a perfumer for renowned companies in Grasse or Milan for whom he continues to provide valuable advice.

Expert noses are few and far between! Françoise, a botanist by training, had long been passionate about art in general, and in particular the painter Marc Chagall, before returning to her first passion, which was for plants and their secrets. Together they decided to return to the island in order to create perfumes that would reflect all of the nuances of Corsica’s nature, and the many facets of their boundless creativity.

In their lab in the little village of Giovicacce, Patrick and Françoise have passionately and patiently created an entire range of high-end subtle products, the reputation of which has gone well beyond Haut-Taravo. They find that inspiration springs from a simple glance, one whiff of pure air laced with the fragrances of the maquis and the surrounding forests.
