The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020 by Parle Moi de Parfum and crafted by perfumer Michel Almairac, Haute Provence 89 captures the essence of a region synonymous with lightness and freedom. The fragrance centers around lavender, its simplicity and beauty rendered iconic through the vast fields that stretch across the landscape. Ozonic and aquatic notes create an airy freshness, complemented by melons and watermelons that bring sunshine and a touch of seduction. A hint of narcissus adds bewitching depth to this tribute to Provence.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to your pulse points. The ozonic top notes are fleeting but refreshing, making way for the long-lasting lavender base that will keep you company throughout the day. This fragrance is best enjoyed during daylight hours when its fresh and airy qualities can truly shine.
