Fragrance Atelier

Our base in San Diego is strategically placed in California to service clients across the United States, Mexico and the Pacific region.

We provide the French savoir-faire and technical know how from San Diego, a  thriving technology hub, known for its vibrant startup culture, innovative companies, and top tier research and development community. The city has a strong and diverse technology ecosystem, with a focus on industries such as biotechnology, cybersecurity, telecommunications, and software development.

Our USA based team is able to provide clients with local fragrance expertise while leveraging French knowledge and know how from Grasse, the region known worldwide as the home of fragrance creation.

Everything is made and assembled by hand at our premises, with the knowledge and savoir-faire accumulated over many years.

We maintain a presence in our local community and continue to be involved with partnerships that benefit the fragrance industry.
