L'EAU DU JARDIN DES PLANTES
In the oldest botanical garden in France, rosemary, thyme and oregano mingle with the fragrances of centuries-old trees, rare species and an infinity of flowers whose discovery amazes the visitor a little more each day.
L'Eau du Jardin des Plantes de Montpellier echoes this place in the heart of the city, where walkers and walkers under the watchful eye of the great naturalists sculpted in stone, are carried away on a singular olfactory journey punctuated by solar bouquets with iodized scents.
This Eau was created with and for the Jardin des Plantes, with the collective of gardeners in order to translate into smell, in its environment, Salvia rosmarinus enthroned in its herbal garden (herbularius, name given to medicinal plants in the Middle Ages).
This water is part of the history of Montpellier, its university and its faculties, that of doctors , apothecaries and dynasties of perfumers, suppliers to all the greatest courts of Europe. A tribute to all these renowned scientists who have worked with passion to make this garden known throughout the world and to make it this remarkable educational tool for medicine and botany.
Co-creator the company ODORE SCOLA offers different variations of Water from the botanical garden of the University of Montpellier, on wax, in diffusion in the air or even to perfume oneself "à la mode de Montpellier"... In 1693, Simon Barbe wrote: "L'Eau of the Queen of Hungary cannot be made so good as in Montpellier; because they make it with the rosemary flowers they have in abundance”
