Monaco. This iconic venue is a private club which is not open to all, however the guests of the evening had the unique opportunity to enjoy a view of the Mediterranean coast, the port of Monaco and the Palace enjoying an elegant cocktail on the terrace. A gourmet dinner created by Chef Simon Ganache provided an unforgettable gastronomic experience. Dishes were accompanied by exclusive wines from partners La Scolca and SGC.

Unforgettable show Maxim Berin, president of Berin Iglesias Art and founder of the Big Art Festival, greeted the guests. The musical part of the evening - the long awaited performance of Valery Meladze on stage was a real celebration of music and dance. Our guests saw an incredible musical show and performed their favorite songs on the same stage with an iconic singer!

An atmosphere of unity with beautiful Mediterranean nature, a wave of positivity and drive! "White Moth Samba", "Beautiful", "Foreigner", "Tequila Love" are familiar to everyone. During the live performances of popular hits it was just impossible to sit at the tables!

The romantic song "Ocean and Three Rivers" was an enchanting end of our evening. A unique opportunity to share the stage with a legend! Valeriy invited our beautiful guests to the stage and brilliantly performed the famous song surrounded by divas.

23RD PRO-AM DES PARFUMEURS

Despite the hot summer weather, the spirit of the participants of the 23rd edition of the Pro-Am des Parfumeurs remained convivial and enthusiastic.

The course at Château de Terre Blanche was exquisitely prepared for the occasion, with greens measured with the "stimpmeter" at 3m, which was enough to satisfy all players, particularly those who play the European Tour. This year 18 teams competed, with the level getting more impressive every year. The presence of Romain LANGASQUE and Victor DUBUISSON, two of our best players on the Pro Circuit, was much appreciated, representing the "ATTRACTIVE SCENT" and "ROBERTET" perfume companies respectively. Former Tour winners Diana LUNA and Jeff LUCQUIN were also playing, among many others. Romain was able to demonstrate his skills by managing 7 birdies while Victor managed 4 birdies plus 1 eagle. After lunch at the Terre Blanche Club House, the participants took a short break before meeting at Cannes's magnificent Bénitier beach for an aperitif on the pontoon, overlooking the bay and “le Pic de L’Ours”. The gala dinner was followed by the prize ceremony and an amazing show given by Almaz Créature, a contortionist who has performed on many international stages.

Regarding results:

In the ranking of the Perfumers' teams, it was a fantastic Net win for the "MPE" team, led by Frank BONNEF, with Rémy SCARPA, Éric and Thomas ARGENTI. They also won the general Net. The team " ROBERTET ", led by Professional Victor DUBUISSON, with Philippe MAUBERT, Catherine MAUBERT, and Clément RAFFAELLI, won in Gross. The general gross was won by the professional Sébastien MIHEL's team, "ATELIER BON SENS", which also includes Mattéo ZIMMERMANN, Noah CHICHE, and Charles CHICHE.
