For the creators John and Clara Molloy, fragrance is a journey. Each scent is inspired by a precise place: Lalibela, a holy city in Ethiopia, with hints of rose nacrée , Sundance, Utah’s famous film festival, with notes of tuberose, Inlé, a lake in Burma, smelling of iris, Siwa, an oasis in Egypt, and its heady vanilla…All places are rich with history or a symbol. The brand new perfume, Quartier Latin, is a celebration of our area, a delicate scent with sandalwood, cedrus, clove and bezoin resin, a fragrance for two.
Located on the prettiest of our squares, the Hôtel Récamier looks like a typical Germanopratine bourgeois house. Decorated by Jean-Louis Deniot, its luxury is not ostentatious, it is just chic. Its 24 rooms are all intimate, comfortable and precious cocoons. And at Récamier, tea time is sacred, on the patio on sunny days or by the fireplace in winter.

The scents of the Dyptique Candles have become indispensable, but there are other candles which are in harmony with them to give places we love a genuine character. Cire Trudon, a Royal Manufacture with an ancestral knowledge, which is the oldest candle factory in the world (1643) created them ! Here the perfumes are not identifiable at first “smell” but there are unique mixes which all reinterprete a moment of history and bring the legend of French taste to light : Empire, Pondichéry, Chandernagor, Odeur de Lune, Odalisque or Carmelite, Empire, Dada…
And today a collection of eau de parfum, kept in precious bottles, with original and heady fragrances, imagined by perfumers Antoine Lie, Yann Vasnier and Lyn Harris: Elae, Aphédie, Médie, Bruma, Deux, Révolution, Mortel and Black Mortal. Fragrances that also tell a whole story and embody a personality more than a genre.
Nobuyoshi Araki, Martin Parr, Alberto Garcia-Alix, Dado Moriyama, Mohammed Bourouissa, Anish Kapoor, appear amongst the artists represented by Kamel Mennour. This self-taught man managed to do in ten years what others spent a life-time to achieve : to present world-famous artists in an international gallery and try to make contemporary art accessible to the largest number, in particular by publishing numerous monographs.
Marie-Hélène de Taillac’s jewels are our favorite talismans. The designer spends six months per year in Jaïpur where she chooses her stones and makes them cut by Indian craftsmen. Briolettes, tourmalines, chalcedonies, they are all exceptional, and set in a way that they seem to be floating in the hollow of our necks or on our fingers. We are crazy about them !

Situated in the Hotel de Biron, the Musée Rodin is also an open-air museum where the public can turn round the sculptures, admire them and touch them. For lovers, the paths of the garden are an ideal place for a walk.
