Greetings from Grasse

Welcome to Grasse—the heart of perfumery in France.

In the hills of Provence lies Grasse, a town where fragrance isn’t simply made—it grows from the earth, mingles in the air, and weaves itself into the fabric of life. For four centuries, this quaint town has been the source of some of the world's most exquisite perfumes, a place surrounded by fields of jasmine, rose, violet, and lavender, lots and lots of lavender, painting the surrounding fields with their color and scent.

Why are Grasse’s fragrances so special? 

The answer lies in the interplay between the bounty nature and specialized expertise.

The climate of Provence —warm Mediterranean sunshine and gentle breezes, mild temperatures, and fertile soil  — offer the perfect conditions to cultivate aromatic plants and nurture their rich, fragrant oils. At the end of the growing season, the flowers are meticulously harvested to capture their essence at peak potency.

Centuries of perfume-making expertise

Grasse goes back to medieval times, and began to attract perfumers about 400 years ago with the arrival of Jean de Galimard, the founder of the Galimard perfume house.  Ever since, Grasse has captured the imaginations and ambitions of perfumers. Molinard, Fragonard, Chanel, Dior and many other luxury brands have fields, laboratories and factories in Grasse. As a result Grasse is a center of immense expertise that was developed and accumulated over generations. The town’s community of farmers, distillers and perfumers perfected the art and science of extraction and preservation of the most delicate, refined, and ethereal flower essences. 

These age-old techniques, combined with the cutting edge science, honor the integrity of natural ingredients, allowing flowers to tell their stories authentically, which in turn find their ways into our best car air fresheners. It's no wonder that the world’s most talented perfumers have sought inspiration here, beginning as humble tincture makers and evolving into masters who craft the world's most coveted fragrances.

Every Aspect of the Sugar Doozy Diffuser Honors Grasse’s Tradition of Craftsmanship

Artisans in Grasse perfected the art of extraction—patiently, lovingly, preserving every delicate note.

Sugar Doozy’s commitment to authentic fragrances leads us back to Grasse. It is from these artisans in Grasse that Sugar Doozy sources some of its most exquisite ingredients, ensuring every diffuser remains luxurious and genuine.

Indeed, it’s why Sugar Doozy stands apart as the best natural car air freshener—as an alternative to typical car air fresheners.

A Pendant of Heritage 

A beautiful fragrance deserves a beautiful vessel, and the ceramic clay of our pendant diffuser is itself rich in heritage. The diffuser’s ceramic pendant was crafted exclusively for the finest perfume houses in Grasse. We incorporated it into our car air freshener because the natural clay substrate captures and holds scents for a long period of time without preservatives or harmful chemicals.  

Our diffuser is designed to radiate scents gently, allowing the fragrance to reveal itself slowly, naturally, and subtly—perhaps the best natural car air freshener you can choose.

Hanging a Sugar Doozy diffuser in your car takes the spirit of Grasse along with you on every journey.
