When Mamie Fada , an iconic restaurant in downtown Angers, approached Diaphane Projects , the initial request focused on a technical challenge: mitigating cooking fumes. But very quickly, the project transcended this initial issue. Through discussions, one thing became clear: this unique space deserved a signature scent, capable of complementing its warm, free-spirited, and decidedly unclassifiable atmosphere.
A joyful universe as a starting point
Mamie Fada is a truly unique place. A generous, inventive, and playful menu, where each dish seems to tell a story, a daring gesture, a wink. To capture this energy, a fragrance with the same brilliance, the same freedom, the same ability to surprise while comforting was needed.
This is how the idea of a fragrance with a dual dimension emerged: the evocation of a happy kitchen and the expression of a playful identity, full of character.
A bold and captivating olfactory composition
The fragrance rests on a powdery base of violet and iris , evoking sweetness, memory, and elegance. These delicate notes are enlivened by luminous spices —cardamom and pink peppercorns—which bring a vibrant and unexpected freshness. Finally, a touch of suede leather adds a soft, almost tactile warmth, like a welcoming gesture.
The result: a joyful, contemporary, instantly recognizable fragrance that perfectly reflects the soul of the restaurant.
A fragrance that welcomes you "like home".
From the moment it was installed, the signature scent integrated with an almost instinctive ease. It complements the space without dominating it, envelops without overwhelming, and creates an immediate sense of familiarity. Customers perceive a pleasant, subtle presence that contributes to the ambiance without ever fully revealing itself.
"Grandma Fada's perfume is as crazy as her cooking!"
— A loyal customer
A controlled, gentle and continuous diffusion
Thanks to a connected electric diffuser , the fragrance is precisely distributed throughout the restaurant. The intensity is adjusted according to service times to ensure a constant yet always measured presence. The fragrance thus becomes a signature: discreet, elegant, and perfectly in tune with the atmosphere of the place.
Towards a Mamie Fada scented collection?
This olfactory identity opens the way to new possibilities: scented candles , reed diffusers , personalized scented objects… All these creations would allow customers to extend the experience at home and take a part of the restaurant beyond its walls.
What if the soul of your place could also be conveyed through a fragrance?
Some places leave a lasting impression on those who frequent them. Their scent is often one of the common threads. A bespoke olfactory identity reveals the spirit of a space, enhances its atmosphere, and transforms each visit into a memorable experience.
With Diaphane Projects , you can create a fragrance that embodies the DNA of your establishment. From fragrance creation to diffuser installation, we support you every step of the way to enhance your space.
