Brûmée was founded by pharmacologist Dr. Anne-Claire Walch. Anne-Claire grew up in the charming town of Grasse, whose fragrant streets have been the historic home of traditional perfumery since the 16th century. Here, surrounded by the natural aromas of Provence, Anne-Claire's fascination with fragrances and perfumes was born.
Her research in pharmacology led her to explore the relationship between the skin and fragrances and their effects on our health, particularly the effects of traditional fragrances. Today's perfumes largely use synthetic fragrances and contain up to 80% alcohol, which can be extremely harmful when used on the skin. Anne-Claire was shocked that in a world where clean beauty and natural cosmetics are rightly so valued, people continue to apply alcohol and other toxins to their skin. And so she set out to change this....
Brûmée was developed to improve the way perfume is formulated, made and worn. Anne-Claire worked with experts in laboratories throughout France to develop a revolutionary formulation based on highly purified water rather than alcohol. The formulation also uses natural fragrances from Grasse and regenerating organic oils instead of harsh and artificial chemicals to create our signature scents.
