The scent of an idea
Cosmetics appears to be a natural extension of this quest for authenticity. A sensory, intimate, living territory, where craftsmanship can fully express itself. The idea of a brand matures: a brand that doesn't cheat, that speaks the truth, that awakens the senses. It will bear a simple, essential name, full of promise: Origine .

Emmanuel joined forces with Diane, his wife, who had extensive experience in the luxury hotel industry. Together, they laid the foundations of an ambitious adventure. A promise: to craft unique expertise while respecting artisanal values.
