A century of craftsmanship
The secret of our success undoubtedly lies in the pride of place accorded to craftsmanship and traditional skills. Our perfumes are entirely handmade, from the perfume itself, all the way to the packaging. After 6 weeks of maceration the resulting liquid is filtered and cooled prior to bottling. This process allows the perfume to reveal its full character and refinement. Each bottle is produced by glass blowing, according to the traditional method. Once the bottles are filled, they are closed individually by hand.
With each bottle, a breath of fresh air, a human presence, unique expertise.
All our bottles are handmade by our master glassmakers. True guarantors of the art of the poetry of glass, our master glassmakers pick the molten glass, pour it into the mould of our bottle, until the chisel marks the beginning of the bottle-making process.
All our boxes are delicately handmade.
Each creation requires a human presence and the quality control of the production of the containers is based on a characteristic meticulousness inherited from father to son. The operating methods of the 21st century may contrast with those of the 1900s, but innovation is at the service of the brand’s heritage, with the aim of rediscovering the timeless emotion of the perfumery of Julien-Joseph Godet’s time.
The Godet gesture, ‘on all the places where you risk being kissed’!
The development of a cap without a spray bottle is the result of several years of research. Instead of a spray nozzle, which has become the modern hallmark of perfumery, the bottle has a cap at the top that fills with droplets when it is opened. The amount of material collected in this way can coat the skin in pre-selected areas.
A new link is forged between the human being and the fragrance, making cleansing more intimate and precise, ‘in all the places where you are likely to be kissed’, explains Sonia Godet. The skin becomes the confidant of localised scents for a new cosmetic experience.
The Grasse region is a breeding ground for talented people who are passionate about the secrets of flowers.
From planting to harvesting, scrupulously methodical and environmentally-friendly steps are taken to obtain the very best elements. Ancestral techniques, such as cold enfleurage, are then used to capture the olfactory heart of the plants.
The location of the new Parfums Godet boutique in Saint-Paul-de-Vence ensures short supply chains and impeccable product quality. The fruits of Grasse’s ‘flower knowledge’, which has been under threat since the arrival of synthetic products, are now within easy reach. The fragrances produced are both parts of a whole and the sum of their parts, thanks to the culture of the ingredient that Parfums Godet strives to defend.
