Chantal Roux, director of the Source Parfumée de Galimard, was passing through the Montreal area and visited the Sucrerie de la Montagne in Rigaud. She was on a journey seeking her childhood dream an authentic Canadian experience that she could call her own.
There she happened upon Pierre Faucher, a passionate ambassador of Quebecois tradition it was one of those rare yet serendipitous encounters of a lifetime. The exchange was energetic, filled with comforting signs edging them closer together. He had dreamed of capturing the scent of maple vapour for more than 35 years. She had just arrived from a distant land (France) where the art of mixing essences to concoct the most seductive of fragrances is recognized in Grasse, the world capital of perfume. Together, they were destined to create Attire-moi a unique maple perfume the scent of the land. Side by side, Chantal and Pierre laboured at the perfume organ to give birth to a unique fragrance in honour of Quebec.
"Pierre Faucher has a beautiful soul. He opened my eyes to the world we call the Quebecois people, a world which reminds me of real values, of soil where your feet stay firmly fastened, even when your mind drifts across the starlit sky. Chantal Roux.
These two family businesses are divided by an ocean, yet they share the same values: respect for tradition and the will to carry on the production of an ancestral product.
In Quebec, La sucrerie de la Montagne continues to fulfill its mission of propogating the experience of maple products, an age-old heritage.
In Grasse, the world capital of perfumery, the maison Galimard is the oldest member of this luxurious industry. Chantal Roux, director of the Source Parfumé de Galimard, introduces Pierre Faucher to the world of perfumery. She invites this Canadian man of the woods to join this select group of aficionados in their art!
Within this cultural exchange between two countries lies a European methodology at the service of the Quebecois landscape.
