Houbigant - Collection Privée - La Belle Saison

La Belle Saison lets the sun shine through, a thoroughly cheerful harbinger of spring.

The sixth Eau de Parfum in the Collection Privée from Houbigant is like a magnificent bouquet of flowers, golden, white, luminous and silky. A reflection of femininity as depicted in Botticelli's beautiful paintings. Grace and elegance, sensuality that reveals itself with every gesture. A captivating sillage, an incomparable signature.

The nose: Céline Ellena

After studying psychology and linguistics, Céline decided to follow her passion and become a perfumer. After graduating from the renowned ISIPCA perfume school, she worked for several leading global perfume companies before becoming a freelance perfumer.

Her most famous creations include the Hermès room fragrances Les Parfums de la Maison, The Different Company: Sel de Vetiver and Sublime Balkiss, and L'Artisan Parfumeur: Côte d'Amour, a 100% natural Ecocert fragrance.

In addition to her creative work as a perfumer, Céline enjoys writing to share her personal perspective on fragrances and creations. She regularly participates in conferences and has contributed to several specialist books on perfume. Her perfume blog Chroniques Olfactives is a unique platform for Céline to express herself. Since 2009, she has been publishing a weekly column on the scents of our everyday lives. These columns are humorous and imaginative descriptions of the world from the perspective of a nose!

La Belle Saison is a historic representative of the Houbigant house. The fragrance was created in 1925 and presented in a crystal bottle signed by René Lalique. The reinterpretation of La Belle Saison in the Collection Privée combines both history and modernity.

Mehr über Houbigant

Back in 1775, Jean-François Houbigant opened a shop on Rue Faubourg St Honoré in Paris, thereby founding what was probably, without him knowing it, France's oldest perfume house. A hand-painted sign hung in front of the shop, depicting a basket of flowers, which earned it the name ‘A la Corbeille de Fleurs’. At that time, Houbigant sold gloves, perfumes and bridal bouquets. Houbigant's fragrances were particularly popular with the aristocracy, which allowed his business to flourish. Jean-François Houbigant died in 1807 and his son Armand-Gustave took over the company. In the same year, Houbigant was appointed court perfumer to Napoleon and created a fragrance for Empress Joséphine. His client list included such prominent names as Marie-Antoinette of France and Queen Victoria, from whom he received the title ‘Perfumer to Her Majesty, Queen Victoria of England’ in 1838.

In 1880, perfumer Paul Parquet became a partner in the company and was to shape it like no other. Parquet turned Houbigant into a global business and revolutionised the entire art of perfumery in the process, as he recognised how important synthetic fragrances were to become. For his fragrance ‘Fougère Royale’, launched in 1882, he used artificially produced coumarin for the first time. At the time, however, this revolution was kept secret from customers so as not to cast any doubt on the quality.

From 1912 onwards, it was perfumer Robert Bienaimé who worked for Houbigant until he founded his own company in 1935. His most famous fragrance was ‘Quelques Fleurs’, also featuring groundbreaking new synthetic substances, which became his greatest success and one of the company's best-selling perfumes.

Until 1950, the two perfumers Paul Schving and Marcel Billot worked for Houbigant. Billot's ‘Chantilly’ from 1941 became particularly famous at this time. Despite this long and often eventful company history, we are still delighted to be able to offer you the timeless classics of Houbigant today.
