Caron Les Charismatiques: trails of character and presence
The heritage heart of the house of Caron
The Les Charismatiques collection brings together the most emblematic fragrances of Caron, the Parisian fine fragrance house founded in 1904 by Ernest Daltroff. Five creations with a strong personality, enhanced by the house's signature Baccarat bottles, including three historic monuments of French perfumery.
The five creations of Les Charismatiques
Les Charismatiques brings together Pour un Homme, Tabac Blond, Narcisse Noir, Pois de Senteur and Montaigne — signatures that have left their mark on the history of French perfumery.
Pour un Homme (1934), Tabac Blond, Narcisse Noir: three monuments
Three creations deserve particular attention. Pour un Homme was, as early as 1934, the first fragrance dedicated to men in the history of perfumery — a lavender-vanilla accord that became a masculine archetype. Tabac Blond (1919) liberated women's perfumery by daring to use leather-tobacco accords hitherto reserved for men. Narcisse Noir (1911) remains one of the most beautiful narcotic florals in history. A living heritage that the house perpetuates with every bottling.
Who is Les Charismatiques for, and when to wear it?
Les Charismatiques is aimed at lovers of classic French perfumery who are looking for historic trails with strong personalities. The creations span the Aromatic (Pour un Homme), Leathery (Tabac Blond), Floral (Narcisse Noir, Pois de Senteur) and Oriental (Montaigne) families. If you enjoy Les Charismatiques, you will also love exploring the Collection Royale by Houbigant (Fougère Royale 1882), Lalique and Goutal Paris — three other French heritage houses at Soleil d'Or.
