Hubert Maes Créations: when the Soleil d'Or founder composes his own perfumes
An authentic Lille nose, beyond fashions and trends
Hubert Maes holds a singular place in the niche perfumery world: he is both the owner and founder of the Parfumerie du Soleil d'Or in Lille — a house founded in 1953 — and the perfumer who signs, under his own name, a collection of artisanal creations. From 2007, he composed his first fragrances, true to his philosophy: to be "beyond fashions and trends", sharing an olfactory story made of memories, dreams, emotions, gourmandise and authenticity. His four perfumes are portraits of women, each embodying a distinct character through complementary olfactory families — amber, fruity, chypre, floral. A rare artisanal approach: the perfumer himself welcomes you in his boutique.
Four perfumes, four stories of women
Histoire Charnelle is the most acclaimed signature — an intense amber vanilla (coconut, pear, patchouli, sandalwood, tonka bean). It evokes "the woman of today, a carnal woman, sure of her charm and sensuality". Délicieuse Histoire is a sparkling fruitygourmand (pear, melon, blackberry, coconut, praline, tonka bean) — "a woman with a child's soul, full of charm and sparkle". Mille et Une Histoire is an orientalfloral (peach, bergamot, iris, violet, cedar, sandalwood, vanilla) — "an ode to all women, the marriage of different stories". Histoire d'un Rêve is a poetic, timeless chypre floral (cardamom, mandarin, rose, ylang-ylang, iris, sandalwood, patchouli).
