Les Fumee - An Artist in Lab

A line that puts attitude above function

“By working with our perfumers and chemists globally, now we have created more than 350 formulations for cosmetics and skincare products, and over 36,000 fine fragrances in our own lab.

With Turkey, Australia, Israel and other countries importing the ingredients and producing fine quality fragrances and cosmetics, the significance of Les Fumee as An Artist in Lab has brought the attitude into our products, which is more than the function I believe. The ’s’ is missing from “Fumees” in French reminds us the belief to make things perfect, because we’ll never be perfect.”
- Director of Les Fumee, Patrick Chan

Fragrance that tease out the trace of memories

About an hour by bus from Nice, on France’s southeast coast, lies the pleasant little town of Grasse. Dubbed the balcony of the Mediterranean, Grasse boasts exquisite scenery and is well-known as the backdrop of German author Patrick Süskind’s novel Das Parfum. The book’s characterisation of Grasse as the “Rome of scent” is no exaggeration.

Les Fumee’s perfumers go to great lengths to ensure the fragrances are not defined by any one thing. For them, fragrance is the Art of Evoking an infinite variety of expressions, and it also serves as a catalyst for calling forth each individual’s memories and impressions.

The reason that Les Fumee is viewed differently from other companies is thanks to its keen senses along with the stories behind its scenes across the entire collections of products.

“Actually, I love it when we get clients who knows about fragrances, we have endless topics about all the notes and can’t believe that our perfumers can make our fragrances in such an exquisite way. To describe the fragrances from Les Fumee in my own language, from start to finish, is incredibly fascinating.”

 “Farming is not a nine-to-five job, and there are no days off nor weekends, we need to work and deliver whenever the weather seems nasty, I want to tell the people many stories that exist behind every gram of the natural ingredients and how to make you more beautiful”.

Our Ingredients - Be Kind to Every Kind

Currently, it is commonplace for a cosmetic company to carry out social responsibility programs and environmental campaigns, and Les Fumee has been involved in a diverse range of activities before it became an established trend.

 Our chemist had created all kinds of formulation, such as Tears Free / Parabn Free / Silicone Free / Anti-aging / Non-allergic formulations in 2006, and also has created a Biodegradable Formulation in 2018.

 “I love the saying - Be kind to all kinds, I always travel for work and life, and I love the places that I have been to, different people, culture and lovely customary, so I always want everyone to be nice and kind to all the things and people around you.”

 “We want to provide more to the society and a better living which is more than just a lifestyle. The biodegradable formulation makes our products be Totally Biodegradable in our products, especially our hotel cosmetics. After using our shampoo, conditioner and shower gel, the bad water goes down to the earth with no harm, and these all were tested and proved by Intertek.”
