Place des Lices
A Saint-Tropez square, decanted.
Place des Lices takes its name from the central square of Saint-Tropez, and it is from that Provençal mood — pine resin, fig leaf, sea salt, Mediterranean blooms — that the line draws its identity. The brand emerged in the late 1990s from the work of Isabelle Jolivet and is developed in partnership with the Italian artistic-perfumery group Gida Profumi. The range is built around eaux de parfum, candles, soaps and home accessories that aim for a relaxed, slightly bohemian Riviera register rather than full niche-house intensity. Compositions tend towards transparent florals, citrus and aromatic woods that read like a slow afternoon between the port and the back streets of the old town. Distribution is concentrated in select European perfumeries and resort boutiques, which fits the holiday-Provence proposition.

DNA over time
Each column is an era. Each colored band shows that family’s share of accord weight across every perfume the house released in that window. Bigger band = the house leaned harder on that family.
