Isabey Paris – Perfume as Art, History and Emotion

Isabey Paris is not just a perfume house – it is a living piece of olfactory history. Founded in 1924 by Henry James de Rothschild and named after the celebrated French miniaturist Jean-Baptiste Isabey, the brand emerged during the dazzling era of the Années folles, when art, fashion and perfumery collided in a vibrant cultural renaissance. From its inception, Isabey stood for bold elegance, artistic craftsmanship and emotional storytelling through scent.

The house quickly became known for its luxurious presentation and exceptional creations. Its perfumes were housed in flacons designed by Julien Viard and René Lalique, earning international recognition and a Grand Prix at the 1925 Exposition des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. Legendary editions such as the Collier d’Isabey – a jewel-like box containing six pearl-shaped miniature bottles – became symbols of ultimate refinement and exclusivity.

After closing in 1941 due to the war, Isabey Paris was lovingly revived in 1999 by PANOUGE, a French perfume company with a rich heritage in haute parfumerie. With great respect for the past and a clear artistic vision for the future, Panouge brought back Isabey's iconic fragrances, preserving their original spirit while reimagining them for a modern audience.

PANOUGE – Guardians of Perfume Heritage
PANOUGE (Parfums Nouvelle Génération) was born from the post-war house Parfums Lavarenne-Paris, founded in 1946. For over two decades, Panouge has developed sophisticated fragrances for visionary brands including Isabey, Jacques Fath and Masaki Matsushima. The company is renowned for its attention to quality, craftsmanship, and its deep commitment to combining tradition with innovation.

Panouge embraces the idea of perfume as a transmitter of emotion – creating exceptional scents that awaken the senses, seek harmony, and celebrate beauty through contrast. Isabey is the jewel in its crown: an olfactory tribute to history, elegance and identity.
