Written on 12 November 2025
“Provence is a sea of blue hills, that we traverse as through a dream” Marcel Pagnol
Shades of blue, dazzling dreams and more, this is the inspiration of Maison Galimard this autumn, and we are glad to share it with you.
Discover the latest perfumes : Blanc d’Azur and Instants Riviera by Galimard
The story of Galimard is deeply rooted to the region of Grasse – an exceptional place with inspiration around every corner : whether it is in the selecton of ingredients by our parfumers or the names of our products, highlighting the beauty of Provence and la Côte d’Azur is essential to our history as well as our future.
2025 is coming to a close, and we are proud of the homage made to our beautiful region throughout the year with the introduction of products such as HÉRITAGE featuring three emblematic floral fragrances.
At Galimard, we decided to celebrate this season with a bouquet of new fragrances, just in time to illuminate and warm the grayest of winter days. And with its three hundred days of sun per year, Provence in France comes naturally to mind for this task, with it’s fresh air and warm colors, an endless source of inspiration for artists.
Clear skies, warm sun, a vibrant color palette, bursts of fragrant aromas from a walk along the water, through a colorful village market, or while relaxing under a shady terrace; these are the impressions that are united within « Blanc d’Azur », our latest creation, as well as in « Instants Riviera » our latest collection of home fragrances.
Blanc d’Azur, a name fittingly evocative, an invitation for a stroll beneath the orange blossoms in the garden of a stone bastide, with flashes of the sparkling blue Mediterranean sky visible through the leaves. White cotton and linen cloth, wafting gently in the breeze, adding a clean fragrance to the scent of orange blossom in the air, a piece of our senior CEO Jean-Pierre Roux’s story. These are the images that inspired Blanc d’Azur, a fresh and luminous perfume evoking the purity of the sky of Provence.
Bergamot and green tea provide a refreshing opening head note, followed by neroli and cotton flower heart notes, giving Blanc d’Azur a modern yet timeless character.
Continuing on from this lovely walk, we invite you to take part in the afternoon siesta – as the writer Yvan Audouard so elegantly states « in Provence, the sun rises twice, once in the morning, and the second after the siesta.” Join us in the stone bastide to discover the fragrances of « Instants Riviera » : la Côte d’Azur sublimated in six refined fragrances in an elegant design.
With names inspired by poetry : « Entre les pétales » meaning between the petals of a flower, « Les jours dorés » meaning golden days, « A portée de rêve » from a dream, « L’ombre du Sud »the shade of the south, « Juste un zeste » just the zest, « Esprit velours » velvet mindset. With the bottle of clear glass like cristalline fountain water, with pastel packaging.
Yellow like a bouquet of mimosa, blue like the lavender fields, pink like peonies, green like the leaves of a fig tree, orange like sun-soaked mandarins… rediscover all the colors and scents of holidays in the South, and so much more.
These new creations are sure to charm with their original formulas and the understated elegance of their bottles, which will add a subtle touch to your home décor. There’s something for every taste, every season, and every room in the house. With these new home fragrances available as sprays, scented candles, and reed diffusers, it’s never been easier to treat yourself, or a friend or loved one, at Christmas or for a birthday!
Gifting Blanc d’Azur or a product from the Instants Riviera collection is more than offering a scent; it’s offering an olfactory journey to the heart of our region. For some, these fragrances will bring back memories; for others, they may spark a bit of Provençal inspiration for future holidays.
We’re very excited to share these new formulas with you in our boutiques in Grasse and Eze-Village, as well as on our website, and we hope their notes accompany you throughout the year. And don’t hesitate to tell us what memories or dreams Blanc d’Azur and Instants Riviera mean to you!
