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.

Olfactory Notes
Ingredients
The perfectly-blended perfume is redolent of green, fragrant sedge, hardy foliage, and delicately-curled fronds of shaded, dense, moist woodlands. Sweet vernal grasses suggest the freshly-released essences of trampled, crushed, trodden, dewy verdure, with an intense hint of newly-mown hay.
FOUGÈRE ROYALE HOUBIGANT: THE CONCEPT
Created by Master Perfumer Paul Parquet in 1882, Fougère Royale completely revolutionized the world of perfumes and established modern perfumery as it exists today. As well as creating an entirely new fragrance family, Parquet had succeeded in extracting isolated, synthetic molecules from natural, raw materials. In the dedicated pursuit to expand olfactory palettes with novel, new aromas, he’d derived coumarin from the Tonka Bean in a worldwide premiere. In its mission to authentically replicate the original, regal masterpiece from centuries past, the reengineered formula cultivates refined, prestigious raw materials of the highest quality and provenance. Fougère Royale retains its discriminating, elegant, noble, refined pulse and its pleasant, pastoral beauty.

Top Notes: The initial impression evokes the fresh verdancy of a forest floor, with prominent notes of green sedge and hardy foliage. A subtle sweetness hints at vernal grasses, creating a dewy, pastoral atmosphere.
Heart Notes: As the fragrance develops, the heart reveals the depth of the woodland setting. The green notes deepen, intertwined with the aromatic nuances of coumarin derived from Tonka Bean, lending a warm, hay-like accord reminiscent of newly-mown hay. The overall effect is elegant and refined.
Base Notes: The lingering essence of Fougère Royale maintains its noble character. While the original description doesn't explicitly detail the base notes, the overall impression suggests a persistent warmth and subtle sweetness from the coumarin and Tonka Bean, anchoring the green and pastoral accords for a lasting, sophisticated fragrance.
