"Through the white windows of the workshop-boutique, there is a formula book, a composition organ, a gray stone angel, a geranium stretching towards the sun, and a few dabs that a pretty cursive writing has taken care to name. There, bottles in rows and pipettes in bouquets; in a corner, a pale hydrangea head waits patiently for its round petals to dry next to oblong boxes signed Alexandra Bachand. "Everything begins with a dream".

"La Grange du Parfumeur: like in a Proust or Flaubert novel, the reminiscence of a bygone era, a cliché on a sepia background, time seems suspended. Yes, here time stands still," confides Alexandra, with the disarming charm of a Madame Bovary. In my studio, there is a clock that does not indicate the time. Visitors are transported by the invisible beauty of perfume and its evocation. She welcomes them near the horse at the entrance to the Garden of Scents, which she has created to showcase her art by creating an exhibition called "Parfums à ciel ouvert". In this month of August, the scent of wild blackberries, heady lilies and a romanticism that undoubtedly awakens the senses are floating around. Her husband Eric Delbaere, co-founder and also an artist, brings the olfactory experience to customers."

La Grange du Parfumeur officially opens its doors to the public after years of research, training, creation and preparation. A selection of the most beautiful natural and aromatic raw materials compose the perfumer's organ (a palette of 400 notes). Each perfume requires about 1 year of work in formulation before being manufactured, macerated in local grain alcohol and bottled on site with rigor in the laboratory of La Grange.
