La Closerie des Parfums: one noble matter married to one spice from around the world

Valérie Madrid and the founding of the maison

La Closerie des Parfums was founded in 2019 by Valérie Madrid, heir to the Panther Group (Cottage, Cadum), with a project clear in its essence: build a new niche maison around an obsessive editorial concept. Each fragrance of the maison pairs one noble matter (oud, rose, patchouli, iris, cocoa) with one spice from the world, in a writing of disconcerting simplicity that conceals a refined olfactive architecture. A radical proposition in the contemporary niche landscape.

The maison's signature scents

The Closerie pantheon brings together Oud Cannelle, Patchouli Sichuan, Cacao Timur, Rose Cardamome and Iris Baie Rose — five emblematic compositions that demonstrate the writing principle of the maison: a noble matter highlighted by a precise spice.

Five Explorations to discover La Closerie

The maison structures its catalogue into five Explorations, each dedicated to one noble matter. The Exploration Oud pairs precious oud with rare spices. The Exploration Patchouli enhances dark patchouli. The Exploration Cacao celebrates noble cocoa. The Exploration Iris deepens powdery iris, and the Exploration Rose sublimates the queen flower.

Who is La Closerie for, and when to wear it?

La Closerie des Parfums speaks to lovers of conceptual and clear-writing perfumery, who appreciate niche fragrances anchored in a strong creative idea. The house is unisex. Creations sit in the oriental, woody, gourmand, floral and powdery families, and shine particularly in autumn and winter. If you enjoy La Closerie, you will also want to explore Akro (other conceptual maison), Memo Paris and Initio — three other contemporary author signatures at Soleil d'Or.

Questions fréquentes sur La Closerie des Parfums

Who is Valérie Madrid and what is the brand's history?

Valérie Madrid is the founder of La Closerie des Parfums (2019). Daughter of Hervé and niece of Antoine Madrid — founders of Groupe Panther in 1972 (Cottage, Arnaud Paris) — she grew up in the world of perfumery and cosmetics. Trained at the Cinquième Sens school in Paris, she created La Closerie to marry her taste for exoticism with the great tradition of French perfumery. Originally from Bordeaux — a historic spice port — spices are her creative DNA.

What is La Closerie des Parfums' creative concept?

La Closerie applies a unique signature concept: every perfume is born from the meeting between a emblematic material of French haute perfumery (rose, oud, patchouli, cacao, iris) and an exotic world spice (Sri Lankan cinnamon, cardamom, saffron, pink pepper, Sichuan pepper, pimento…). "Always blending the here and the elsewhere. Combining the delicacy of a Parisian memory with the seductive promises of the distant." Every creation is composed in four hands with a master perfumer.

What are the 5 collections and their best-sellers?

Rose (floral): Rose Cannelle is the most opulent signature — Damascus rose, Sri Lankan cinnamon, amber woods. Oud (oriental): Oud Safran and Oud Cardamome are the most intense. Patchouli: Patchouli Sichuan (gourmand) is the most original. Cacao: Cacao Pimento is the most amber. Iris: Iris Baie Rose is the most powdery and spring-like.

What does "closerie" mean?

A closerie refers to those intimate Parisian gardens — verdant retreats amid the city's stone, where one escapes the bustle to find reverie. It is the brand's founding metaphor: a place of vegetal pause, refinement and imagination. "The imaginary of the closerie is ideal. People come there seeking escapism." — Valérie Madrid.

How to choose between the Rose and Oud collections?

The Rose collection (floral) is more accessible, luminous and feminine: Rose Cannelle for an opulent, spiced rose; Rose Cardamome for something fresher. The Oud collection (oriental) is more intense, deep and unisex: Oud Safran for maximum intensity; Oud Baie Rose for something more peppery and accessible. Our discovery box lets you test your selection.
