Cote d’Azur Brand Boutique
If you can’t visit in person, then why not have some of the Côte d’Azur’s emblematic brands delivered to you? Note: This article is part of a bigger magazine feature called “Take it Slow on the Côte d’Azur”
The famous perfumer founded in Grasse in 1926 has a very special link with the Côte d’Azur’s beautiful flowers, a source of inspiration for Fragonard’s fragrances, created according to the finest French traditions.
A jewellery brand 100% from Nice whose designs are inspired by something as pure and simple as the pebbles on the beach. Their stylish pieces are made by artisans and decorated with gemstones – and they ooze Riviera elegance.
Inspired by the Côte d’Azur, Antoine Pierini has created an exclusive collection of sculpted cane-glass pebbles with different effects and finishes to remind you of the Mediterranean sea.

A native of Côte d’Azur, the designer and illustrator has created a successful range of retro-style posters which encapsulate the colours, vibrancy and legendary locations of the region, which is, after all, where the summer holiday was invented.

Established in 1868, this is one of the region’s most famous olive oil producers with over 60 hectares, all farmed organically. Grab some of their deliciously plump olives, too, or how about their moreish goat’s cheese and almond olivade?
La Bastide has assembled an appetising mixed set of snacks and toppings – all produced in the Grasse countryside – especially for the Côte d’Azur brand, including tapenades, aubergine caviars, artichoke toastinade, pistou and creamed red peppers.
Candied fruits, crystallised flowers, chocolate olives, lemon, rose and violet bonbons are just some of the sweet delicacies manufactured by this long-established and highly respected gourmet confiserie. And each morsel is as pretty as a picture.
