Description
Comte de Grasse 44°N Gin captures the Côte d’Azur in a glass — luminous citrus, sea-breeze freshness and blooms in full sun. Distilled in Grasse, the world’s perfume capital, it blends juniper with mimosa, cade and Mediterranean herbs, using cutting-edge aroma-preserving techniques. Layered, elegant and unmistakably Riviera, this is modern French luxury — as striking to behold as it is to sip.
Tasting Notes & Experience
Zesty lemon and grapefruit lift from the glass with a saline whiff of the Med and a hint of mimosa. The palate blooms with jasmine, rose and bitter-orange marmalade, threaded by herbaceous angelica and samphire. A gentle prickle of pepper warms into a long, silky finish where citrus, florals and a sweet-musky echo linger.

Cocktail Pairings
A Rosé Champagne Martini gilds its floral-citrus heart in celebratory sparkle. A Negroni turns Riviera-bitter with bright marmalade lift. Try a Gimlet Agrume Doré for golden, zesty refreshment, or a high-summer Floradora with raspberry and ginger. For pristine elegance, serve an ultra-dry Martini with a grapefruit twist.
Craftsmanship & Story
Imagined and distilled in a restored 19th-century perfume house, 44°N fuses traditional craft with perfumery science. Ultrasonic maceration, vacuum distillation and supercritical CO2 extraction protect fragile aromas from Mediterranean botanicals, delivering exceptional clarity and texture. It’s the spirit of the French Riviera, engineered with a perfumer’s precision.
