PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In May 2024, the Liby Master Perfumer was officially unveiled in Grasse. The quaint town of Grasse in southern France welcomed its annual Rose Festival.

Graced with a unique climate and geographical conditions, the roses of Grasse exude an exceptionally fragrant and lush aroma, making it a core territory for perfume research and production for centuries, earning it the prestigious title of “Perfume Capital of the World.”

This year's Rose Festival witnessed the presence of a Chinese household care brand at the Grasse Congress Palace - Liby Science and Technology showcased its premium product, “Liby Master Perfumer,” in an exhibition titled “Fragrance Journey to Grasse France.” The event piqued the interest of numerous perfume connoisseurs and enthusiasts.

“The Latest Masterpiece in Grasse's Fragrance History”

The fragrance sampling area proved to be the most popular attraction for this exhibition. Positioned as “created by French perfumer masters,” Liby Master Perfumer was blended by Ms. Calice Becker, the current co-president of the International Fragrance Association (IFRA). As the creator of Dior J'adore fragrance, Calice drew inspiration from the dreamlike aroma of Grasse's roses, replicating a perfume-grade quality in Liby Master Perfumer laundry detergent, hailed as the latest masterpiece in Grasse's fragrance history. “It's a pleasant fragrance,” commented Sway, the perfume connoisseur present.

The Grasse rose, which “blooms for only one month a year, with each stem bearing a single flower,” boasts a rich and lingering aroma, making it a coveted ingredient chosen by renowned luxury brands like Chanel, YSL, and Dior. A Liby representative stated that the exhibition paid homage to the source of inspiration for Liby Master Perfumer and aimed to introduce more consumers to the preciousness and allure of the Grasse rose. As reported, Liby has recently forged a deep collaboration with its long-standing partner, the international fragrance giant Givaudan and Firmenich, to jointly establish a “Master Fragrance Inspiration Workshop,” exploring more fragrance varieties in the future.
