Houbigant Orientale Collection: spicy and resinous trails
Houbigant's reading of the orient
The Orientale Collection is the oriental line of Houbigant Paris, maison founded in 1775. Four creations that celebrate the spices, resins and precious woods of the oriental tradition through the prism of the great French school of niche perfumery. A French reading of Eastern materials, in the great heritage tradition that has crossed the centuries with the maison.
The four creations of the Orientale Collection
The Orientale Collection brings together Oud Or, Ambre des Abysses, Santal Magnétique and Encens Mystique — four compositions with spicy and resinous trails that explore the noble materials of the orient: oud, amber, sandalwood, incense.
A French reading of the oriental tradition
The Orientale Collection cultivates an approach faithful to Houbigant's heritage: oriental materials reinterpreted by the great French school. Where the Middle Eastern tradition often favours raw, linear oud, the maison weaves it with the elegance of the Houbigant fougère, with European bois précieux, with the powderiness of the great florals of haute parfumerie. A bridge between East and West, in the spirit of Jean-François Houbigant who already perfumed European courts in 1775.
Who is the Orientale Collection for, and when to wear it?
The Orientale Collection speaks to lovers of haute parfumerie oriental, who seek deep and warm trails. Creations sit in the oriental, ambery, woody and spicy families, and shine particularly in autumn and winter. If you enjoy the Orientale Collection, you will also want to explore Xerjoff Oud Stars, the Nejma Heritage Collection and the Atelier des Ors Collection Noire — three other oriental signatures at Soleil d'Or.
