Houbigant Quelques Fleurs L'Original
A timeless floral masterpiece from 1912, the world’s first true multi-floral bouquet, crafted with elegance and refined French tradition.
Inspiration
Launched in 1912, Quelques Fleurs L’Original by Houbigant is a historic fragrance that revolutionized perfumery. It was the very first multi-floral bouquet, created by Robert Bienaimé, marking a turning point in modern perfumery. Until then, floral scents were usually soliflores or paired with spices and herbs, but Quelques Fleurs introduced a perfectly balanced symphony of blossoms that set the standard for floral compositions.
Loved by royalty, aristocracy, and fragrance enthusiasts across the globe, it remains a symbol of French elegance and timeless refinement. Each ounce of the perfume is composed of over 15,000 flowers and 250 rare raw materials, still produced in Grasse, the cradle of perfumery.
