Jean de Galimard, Lord of Seranon, related to the Count of Thorenc and great friend of Goethe lived in Grasse where in 1747 he founded PARFUMERIE GALIMARD. Jean supplied the court of Louis XV, the King of France with olive oil, pomades and perfumes. Founder of the Corporation of "Glove Makers and Perfumers"(more on the Glove Makers and Perfumers), Jean offered unique formulas that were inspired by the nature of Grasse such as the pure essence of jasmine, rose, lavender, orange flower and tuberose.
Today, the House of Galimard still offers the same high quality and unique ingredients as did Jean over 250 years ago.
GLOVE MAKERS AND PERFUMERS
According to legend, in 1656 Louis XIV (1638-1715) created the Corporation of Master Glovemakers and Perfumers. He granted them monopoly of the perfume distribution from the apothecaries and druggist who monopolized this market.
In 1724, the perfume-glove manufactures of Grasse were officially recognized as guilds and turned their businesses into the exclusive business of perfume making.
