L'Amande Soaps


Savon de la Tulipe, Labeille, La Tour, Le Pélican, L'Amande... these are just a few of the best-known brands of soap produced in Marseille during the golden years of its soap making industry, from the late 19th century to the early 20th century.
L'Amande is not only one of the few still existing, but it is also one of the oldest brands of soap on the market. L'Amande was founded and flourished in Marseille, then it crossed the Alps and continued to flourish in the second home of Mediterranean soap making: Western Liguria.
Relying on its noble background, today L'Amande soap is still produced in vats using the ancient original recipe and only the best ingredients, extra pure soap of great quality and value.

For more than a century, L’Amande has been synonymous with quality in the great tradition of Mediterranean soap making.
True to its important inheritance, today L’Amande soaps are still produced in cauldrons, using the old, so-called Marseillais method in which oils and raw materials are simmered for six days and six nights.
This history, time-honoured and rooted in a piece of land on the Mediterranean Sea between Genoa and Marseilles, has become part of us and part of our products.
This is why we exclusively use the best oils, fragrances and essences from our land with specific olfactive and phytocosmetic qualities: olive oil - Mediterranean gold – and the oil of sweet almonds, the inspiration for our brand name; Broom, Strawberry tree, Mulberry, typical plants of the maquis; Honeysuckle and Hawthorn which perfume country lanes and cover the typical dry walls; Pittosporum, which has become an integral part of the Riviera landscape. These and many other plants give our products the fragrance and emotions of a land where the sea breeze blends with the warm scents, some floral others decidedly fruity, of a Nature generous to this land in every season, where plants, aromatic herbs and flowers fill paths, hillsides and even reefs.



L'Amande Neutral Fragrance

The real Soap of Marseilles has been produced for centuries by boiling for 6 days in big vats. The Soap of Marseilles is a natural soap and it does not contain artificial substances such as colours and fragrance.
