3 perfumes in the catalogue

Founded in Paris in 1976 by Jean Laporte, a chemist and botanist, it was one of the first houses to embrace a niche position, long before the word took hold. It served as a proving ground for several perfumers who became major names, and Mûre et Musc, in 1978, set white musk at the heart of a composition rather than merely in support.
