Following this year’s World Perfumery Congress, Women in Favor and Fragrance Commerce (WFFC) lead a small group through the region’s fields and production sites. Starting in Cannes, the tour wound through Grasse, Bar-sur-Loup, Saint Auban-sur-L’Ouveze, Manosque, Marseilles and Nice. Visiting lavender fields and essential oil/absolute production sites, the group also enjoyed the Bandol wine region, 4-Star dining and an evening in Nice.
