Bernard Marty is a Montblanc native who has installed a perfumery in his residence Tuileries since 1990. He is the last survivor of an activity that was once the pride of the region. A passionate explorer of plants, he created the Liqueur des Sables on the steps of the family home, continued his experiments in distillation with many pastises and continues with more than 32 perfumes made from essential oils. For years distillation, maceration, refrigeration and printing of the bottle were done on site, though today for security reasons the distillation is moved out of the shop. Sensitive to ecology, his perfumery houses an unusual museum where plants and distillation come together, with a movie theatre as well. More than a thousand species are listed; Bernard knows that each plant has healing properties and shares his knowledge. Its ingredients come from all over the world and Bernard displays them on a giant world map at the entrance of his shop.
