An Aromatic Life #26: Parfums de Vie (the fragrance of life, light, & love for children in need) with Nicole Derieux
In this episode, Frauke sits down with Parfums de Vie co-founder/co-owner Nicole Derieux to talk about her non-profit in Grasse, France which she describes as the fragrance of life, light, & love for children in need. Nicole takes us through some fragrant episodes in her life's journey as a little girl growing up on the west coast of Scotland, enjoying the smells of the sea, right through to today, living in the Perfume Capital of the World, surrounded by an abundance of beautiful aromatic plants. She explains what led her and her husband to start Parfums de Vie, what they strive to achieve, and, importantly, shares how fragrance is an integral part of the journey. This conversation will surely inspire you to visit Grasse and vacation at their 19th Century perfumer’s mansion, and at the very least will motivate you to buy their signature perfumes to support the children thriving from their program. It's an episode filled with hope, happiness and a lot of smells.
