Elsa in Alésia
Made in Pigalle
I like to think that when Louis Aragon wrote the poem "The Eyes of Elsa", he was thinking of me. Between 2 concertos and a visit to a museum, I like to enjoy the calm of my neighbourhood, our small village, as Violette, my childhood friend calls it. As a matter of fact, she just invited me for dinner. I should run to the flower shop to buy her favourite flowers: a bouquet of peonies.
My fragrance?
A floral bouquet: some fresh and delicate peonies mixed with the sweetness of watermelon from the Provencal countryside, reinforced by ambergris. A true elixir of gentleness and romance, which carries me like a tune.

Made in Pigalle is inspired by the Parisian way of life, the neighbourhood of Pigalle located in Paris turns a fragrance dream into reality. Individuality of the inhabitants, their surroundings, interior monologues and extracts of intimacy brought to life through not so feminine nor masculine fragrances.
From concept to craftsmanship to the finished product on skin, the brand is proud of its "Made in France" standard. With the perfumes created in Grasse, known as the home of haute perfumery, the brand has been built from a strong foundation.
Each bottle created through an "emotional and olfactory symbiosis" from their ingredients & accords used to express them to the personalities they were made to represent.
