Houbigant Collection Orientale: spicy, resinous trails
A French reading of the olfactory Middle East
The Collection Orientale by Houbigant Paris celebrates the spices, resins and precious woods of the oriental tradition, under the signature of one of the oldest perfume houses in the world. Creations that marry the house's French heritage with the opulence of oriental compositions.
The creations of the Collection Orientale
The Collection Orientale brings together Ambre des Abysses, Oud Or, Patchouli Sauvage and Tabac Nomade — compositions in which each fragrance bears the name of its dominant material, with the great clarity of narrative oriental perfumery.
A legible oriental perfumery
The Collection Orientale cultivates a legible oriental approach: amber, oud, patchouli, tobacco — signature materials that make themselves felt without demanding lengthy decoding. A French approach to the olfactory Middle East, where complexity exists without sacrificing the clarity of the trail. Ideal for discovering orientals without falling into the traps of excessive opulence.
Who is the Collection Orientale for, and when should you wear it?
The Collection Orientale is made for lovers of oriental perfumery in search of dense yet legible trails. The creations belong to the oriental, amber, woody and spicy families, and shine particularly in autumn and winter. If you enjoy the Collection Orientale, you will also love exploring Stéphane Humbert Lucas, Atelier des Ors' Collection Noire and Nejma — three other oriental signatures at Soleil d'Or.
