Houbigant Quelques Fleurs – The iconic floral created in 1912

Houbigant Quelques Fleurs: the iconic floral created in 1912

The founding multi-floral bouquet

The Quelques Fleurs collection is the absolute icon of Houbigant Paris, a house founded in 1775 and one of the oldest perfume houses in the world. Created in 1912 by Robert Bienaimé, Quelques Fleurs is considered the first great multi-floral bouquet in history — a bouquet of flowers distilled into one coherent composition, which influenced the whole of modern feminine perfumery.

The collection's variations

The collection is built around three main facets: L'Original (the historic 1912 creation), Royale (a more opulent reading) and Jardin Secret (a fresh, contemporary reading). Each facet comes in several concentrations: eau de parfum, extrait de parfum, the Collection Privée variations, not to mention the perfumed powder and the perfumed body cream — a truly complete olfactory ritual.

A historic reference in floral perfumery

Quelques Fleurs holds a unique place in history: the first great multi-floral composition of the 20th century, it influenced the whole of modern feminine perfumery. More than a century after its creation, the bouquet remains recognisable and carries Houbigant's aristocratic signature. A collection that speaks as much to history lovers as to its faithful wearers.

Who is Quelques Fleurs for, and when to wear it?

Quelques Fleurs is for lovers of classic, refined floral perfumery, who enjoy rich, heritage sillages. The collection belongs to the floral and powdery families and shines all year round. If you enjoy Quelques Fleurs, you will also love exploring Goutal Paris, Caron and Lalique — three other heritage floral signatures at Soleil d'Or.
