The story

La Closerie des Parfums: noble materials paired with spices from around the world

Valérie Madrid and the Panther Group

La Closerie des Parfums is a French house born of the Panther Group, a family business run for four generations in the essence-refining sector. Its founder, Valérie Madrid, came up with a simple, recognisable concept: pairing a noble material (rose, oud, patchouli, cocoa, iris) with spices from around the world (saffron, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, pepper). Each creation is therefore named with the formula "Material + Spice", an instant readability that is the house's signature.

The French house's emblematic fragrances

The La Closerie des Parfums pantheon brings together OUD CANNELLE, PATCHOULI SICHUAN, OUD BAIE ROSE, ROSE MUSCADE, OUD CARDAMOME and ROSE CARDAMOME: so many signatures that have established the house among niche lovers.

Five explorations to discover the house

The house organises its catalogue by noble material. Exploration Oud offers five creations around the queen of materials. Exploration Cacao, Exploration Rose, Exploration Patchouli and Exploration Iris complete the olfactory world around the signature materials.

Frequently asked questions about 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.
