Founded 175 years ago in Grasse—the perfume capital of France—Robertet has grown into a global leader in natural ingredients for fragrances and flavors. From rose and jasmine to tuberose, vanilla, and maté, its sensory creations from all around the world enrich everyday life.

In the delicately crafted Robertet: From Seed to Scent, acclaimed French author and perfumery expert Élisabeth de Feydeau unveils the secrets behind Robertet legacy and the artistry of scent-making. For nearly two centuries, members of the Maubert family have been personally involved in building a strong and visionary company, one that remains true to its roots while continually embracing innovation and the future.

But the book’s essence goes beyond sharing Robertet’s history and legacy, guiding readers through the intricate process of extracting scents—from the moment an ingredient first buds to the instant it’s ready to grace our sense of smell—and breaking down each step, from seed to scent. The company’s unwavering commitment to naturals and excellence shines through on every page, and the book takes readers behind the curtain to discover the true magic of this industry—the magic of Robertet.
