Houbigant is a historic French perfume house, founded in Paris in the distant 1775 by the young Jean-François Houbigant of Grasse, a city considered the world capital of perfumes. His surname appears in various historical testimonies of the last four centuries, thanks to the predilection of the nobility and perfume enthusiasts for his fragrances. Even Napoleon, in the spring of 1815, went to the maison to make purchases and, year after year, the name Houbigant it became known and particularly appreciated in the rich European royal courts. In 1882, thanks to the talent of master perfumer Paul Parquet, Houbigant he launched Fougère Royale, a men's fragrance destined to revolutionize modern perfumery and give life to the famous fougère olfactory family. Working for the maison, in 1912 the brilliant Robert Bienaimé created the first multi-floral bouquet in history, Quelques Fleurs, an olfactory triumph still sold with great success today.
