Durance Story
A FAMILY STORY
Maison Durance is first of all the story of a family passionate about perfume who bought in 1997 a small farm producing flowers and lavender essential oil in the heart of the Provençal Drôme in Grignan. Transported by the Beauty and Spirit of the place, and by the desire to sublimate the most precious perfumes and natural active ingredients of Provence, Nicolas Ruth imagines with his teams products that are always richer in benefits and helps to make Maison Durance shine all over the world.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
What if Provence hid much more than we wanted to see?
The benefits of a secret land, generous in nature, rich in culture, know-how and imagination.
What if the art of living was an art of the moment?
A crackling of precious wood fire, a few rose buds picked at dawn, a barefoot walk in the fresh grass.
What if each perfume told another story?
A thousand pages of an ideal library would distill their sensory reminiscences into as many Proust madeleines.
What if Durance created new associations?
To each room of the house a new inner journey, to each skin perfume its language of emotion. And for the only signature, the Durance olfactory paw, delicate, refined and powerfully evocative.
