Houbigant

Houbigant - Quelques Fleurs Royale

In honour of master perfumer Jean-Francois Houbigant, a new, opulent version of the fragrance Quelques Fleurs has been created. Quelques Fleurs Royale shares the intense passion of the original fragrance, which was created in 1912, and uses it as a source of inspiration. Quelques Fleurs Royale pays homage to the fragrance designed 175 years ago for Princess Adelaide d'Orleans. The name was chosen in recognition of these historical connections.

With Quelques Fleurs Royale, Houbigant has created an even more exclusive and precious fragrance, reaffirming its superiority in the world of fragrances. In keeping with the tradition of the House of Houbigant, Quelques Fleurs Royale is a multi-floral fragrance.

For the discerning, modern woman of today who loves and celebrates luxury.

The absolutes of rose, jasmine, tuberose and beeswax make Quelques Fleurs Royale so irresistible.
In this extraordinary creation, precious woods combine with exotic, precious flowers, while invigorating citrus fruits lend the fragrance a sparkling note.

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.
