So I mention every now and then that I work for a perfume producer, ParfumsBelcam (AKA Belcam) that’s why I write this blog (hence the name INSIDE Perfume). All of our fragrances are made in a small village in the most northeast corner of New York state, Rouses Point. Yes, some things are still made in the USA! Just barely though! If you look at us on a map you’ll see we’re just on the border of Vermont and Quebec. It’s a small, picturesque village nestled on the west coast of Lake Champlain. You can find out more about Rouses Point at www.rousespointny.com. The pictures you’ll see on this site are pretty much the view as we walk out the door! Kind of like this one I took last March as I was walking to work. Isn’t it nice to know that these beautiful smelling things come from a beautiful place, and not some ugly industrial wasteland somewhere?!
