“The greatest decisions should be made before small bottles”. You may be thinking this quote is from a grand perfumer from his fragrance organ, but it is actually from a famous film made in 1938 !
85 years later, during this lovely spring where the roses blossomed and we celebrated cinema in Cannes, Galimard is honoring the great history of French cinema with the name of our latest perfume for men, « Quai des Brumes ».
