The emblematic scents of Provence: an olfactory journey

Provence, a sunny region in the south of France, is much more than a postcard: it is a symphony of scents that alone evoke the Mediterranean art of living. Through its lavender fields, its hills covered with thyme and rosemary, or its citrus orchards, each scent tells a story and awakens memories. Let's dive together into these essential scents that make Provence such a unique place.

Lavender: the soul of Provence

A must-have, lavender is the olfactory emblem of Provence. Harvested by hand for centuries, it perfumes the fields with a vibrant purple and fills the air with its fresh, floral notes. A symbol of serenity, lavender is used to soothe the mind, perfume linen, or in beauty rituals.

At L'Ocrillon , we enhance this iconic flower in our liquid soaps and scented candles. Each use is an invitation to a moment of relaxation, like a walk in the fields of the Luberon.

Thyme and rosemary: the heart of the Provençal hills

Thyme and rosemary, robust and aromatic plants, grow wild on the sunny hills of Provence. Used in cooking to enhance dishes, they are also prized for their toning and purifying properties.

Their intense, herbaceous scent evokes fresh mornings, when the dew amplifies their natural aromas. We put them in the spotlight in our creations to bring an invigorating and authentic touch to your daily life.

Verbena and citrus fruits: Mediterranean freshness

Less well-known, but just as essential to the Provençal identity, verbena and citrus fruits such as lemon or bergamot add a note of invigorating freshness. These scents evoke summer orchards, where fruits ripen under a generous sun.

Perfect for revitalizing the mind, they are ideal in body care and home fragrances. At L'Ocrillon , we integrate these essences into our shower soaps and diffusers to offer you a sensory escape.

A timeless olfactory heritage

The scents of Provence are not just perfumes: they tell the story of a rich and generous terroir, of ancestral know-how passed down from generation to generation. They embody an art of living that celebrates nature, simplicity and quality.

L'Ocrillon is part of this tradition by offering locally made products, in harmony with nature. Each soap, candle or treatment is a way of offering you a fragment of this authentic Provence, directly in your home.
