Operating since 1775, the House of Houbigant is the only fragrance house that has existed through four centuries of history.
Through these centuries, the perfumers of the House of Houbigant have made groundbreaking discoveries in the formulation of perfumes that have revolutionized forever the way perfumes are constructed. It is not an exaggeration to say that, without the House of Houbigant, modern perfumery as we know it today would not exist.
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 favour with royalty and the nobility. Houbigant taught the titled women at the Court of Versailles how to perfume their fans so that just a fragrant flutter would send out a romantic message.

Top Notes: The initial impression of Bois Mystique is likely a blend of fresh, vibrant notes. While not explicitly listed, the "freshness of the woods" suggests elements like pink pepper or elemi, offering a bright, slightly spicy opening. A subtle hint of liquor, perhaps a nuanced rum or cognac accord, could also be present, adding a touch of sweetness and warmth.
Heart Notes: The core of Bois Mystique develops with warm spices and rich woods. The "strong note of spices" could manifest as nutmeg, cinnamon, or cardamom, creating a comforting, almost gourmand feel. Exotic woods, potentially sandalwood, guaiac wood, or cedarwood, add depth and a smoky character, evoking the imagery of a bonfire. The "blazing pink and orange sunsets" suggest a possible inclusion of a subtle floral accord, perhaps a touch of rose or orange blossom, to add a nuanced sweetness.
Base Notes: The long-lasting dry down of Bois Mystique is anchored by the persistent warmth of the woods and spices. Patchouli, amber, and vanilla could provide a smooth, sensual base, enhancing the intoxicating and irresistible sillage. The "hints of liquors" likely linger in the background, adding a touch of boozy sweetness that complements the woody and spicy notes.
