The story of the brand
Established in 1775, Houbigant is one of the oldest perfume houses in continuous existence. Milestones include Fougère Royale (1882), which introduced the fougère style to modern perfumery, and Quelques Fleurs (1912), one of the first true multi-floral bouquets. Today the house preserves its French lineage while composing elegant, long-lasting unisex perfumes.
The signature of the house
Polished French composition where luminous citrus, aromatics and refined florals meet noble woods, amber and musks, often with mossy fougère accents and creamy bouquet florals. Compositions are balanced, diffusive and memorable from first spray to drydown.
Extra sentence for semantics: Expect facets of bergamot, lemon, lavender, geranium, neroli, orange blossom, jasmine, rose, iris, mimosa, violet leaf, oakmoss, patchouli, vetiver, cedar, sandalwood, vanilla, tonka, amber, musk and coumarin in modern fougère, floral, woody, amber and citrus signatures.
