Houbigant Paris
Houbigant Paris – The Renaissance of a Royal Fragrance Legacy
For almost 250 years, Houbigant Paris has embodied masterful perfumery, timeless elegance, and a tradition deeply rooted in European culture and aristocracy. When you wear Houbigant, you don’t just wear a fragrance – you become part of a story that began with flowers and continues into the future.
In 1775, Jean-François Houbigant hung a hand-painted sign with a basket of flowers above the door of his small perfumery on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris. La Corbeille de Fleurs – the basket of flowers – became a symbol for the beauty of floral compositions and the poetic soul of scent. This iconic symbol still defines the house today.
The list of legendary figures who wore Houbigant reads like a chapter from a historical novel: Marie-Antoinette, famed for her refined taste. Napoleon, who would not forgo elegance even on the battlefield. Tsar Nicholas II, the last emperor of Russia. The Rothschilds, Guy de Maupassant, and even Lady Diana, the beloved Princess of Wales. They were all captivated by the sophistication and depth of Houbigant’s creations.
Today, this rich heritage is reimagined by a global roster of creative perfumers: Jean-Claude Ellena, master of clarity and restraint. Céline Ellena, his daughter, whose vision fuses elegance and emotion. Rodrigo Flores-Roux, known for opulent compositions. Jacques Flori, a craftsman of natural purity. Luca Maffei, a force of innovation in niche perfumery. Mathieu Nardin, whose signature is emotional and worldly. And Antoine Lie, whose edgy, avant-garde style brings boldness into balance.
At scent amor, you’ll find a curated selection of Houbigant’s finest collections – perfect if you see perfume not just as fleeting beauty, but as an expression of identity, memory, and emotion.
