Atelier Cueillette et Distillation – Un Mas en Provence

For a morning, take part in the picking and distillation of our plants with Gaël and leave with your bottle of essential oil and hydrosol.

For one morning, embark on a journey to the rhythm of scents and traditional know-how.

Guided by Gaël, a passionate producer-distiller, you'll handpick the estate's aromatic plants, sickle in hand, in the heart of a lavender field in full bloom. Then, you'll witness the steam distillation process in the house's still: an immersive experience, where each step reveals the mysteries of transforming plants into essential oils. The aromas are released, the techniques are transmitted, and the secrets of Provençal perfumery come to life before your eyes.

A Mas en Provence is much more than an agricultural estate: it is a unique ecosystem dedicated to the cultivation, processing, and creation of certified organic perfumes and cosmetics, in a comprehensive approach of transparency.

Gaël Briez, a musician turned perfumer, cultivates his own organically grown perfume plants, distills them on-site, and creates unique fragrances. Each product is traceable, each scent narrated.

But above all, the Mas is open to the public: here, you can discover the entire production chain, from the earth to the bottle, in an authentic, lively, and welcoming farmhouse. This place embodies a strong desire: to reconnect the consumer with the origin of the product, to restore meaning to local purchasing and human interaction.
