Quelques Fleurs’s secret, mythical formula diligently-curates upwards of 15,000 exemplary flowers and 250 prestigious raw materials in the creation of a single ounce of the Eau de Parfum.
Ethereal and courtly, its mosaic fragrance depicts plush, ambrosial, delicate floral breath as it’s mingled in nature.
The enchanting, radiant essence bombards the olfactory senses with soft, sensual, voluptuous flowers arranged in immaculately-nuanced, concordant tonalities.
It all began with just a basket of flowers. One day in Paris in 1775, a young man, Jean-Francois Houbigant, hung a hand-painted sign of a basket of flowers over his little shop in rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. From the start, his fragrances found favor with royalty and the nobility. When Marie-Antoinette was executed by guillotine in 1793, she carried 3 vials of Houbigant perfume in her corsage to give her strength. In the spring of 1815, Napoleon had been in Paris for only three months, raised an army, and yet found time to shop at Houbigant. Two hundred years later, in 1973, Micheal Perris met the last descendant of the Houbigant family and began his involvement with the House of Houbigant. Years later, the Perris family became the owner of the House of Houbigant, and got the honor to try to put back together the historic brand.
