La Closerie des Parfums: 50 years of family heritage translated into spiced olfactory journeys

The Madrid family: 50 years in perfumery, from Bordeaux to Grasse

The story of La Closerie des Parfums is inseparable from the Madrid family's history in perfumery for over 50 years. In 1972, brothers Antoine and Hervé Madrid founded their first perfume laboratory. In 1974, they acquired Parfums Christine Darvin, a house with a factory in the Bordeaux suburbs. They then founded Groupe Panther — one of France's leading beauty and hygiene groups (Cottage, Arnaud Paris, Carole Daver), present in over 40 countries. In 2019, Hervé's daughter, Valérie Madrid — trained at the Cinquième Sens school in Paris — created La Closerie des Parfums. A family full circle: "back to roots", as she says, returning to the essence of French perfumery. Her twin passion: French haute perfumery and exotic spices — Bordeaux, a historic port for world spices, is the guiding thread.

5 collections, one concept: noble material + world spice

La Closerie's creative concept has a radical elegance: every perfume is born from the meeting between an emblematic material of haute perfumery and an exotic spice. Rose collection: Rose Cannelle (Damascus rose, Sri Lankan cinnamon — enveloping floral) · Rose Muscade · Rose Cardamome. Oud collection: Oud Safran (oud, saffron — intense oriental) · Oud Cardamome · Oud Baie Rose. Patchouli collection: Patchouli Cannelle (oriental) · Patchouli Baie Rose (aromatic) · Patchouli Sichuan (gourmand). Cacao collection: Cacao Pimento · Cacao Timur (amber). Iris collection: Iris Baie Rose (floral) · Iris Coriandre (woody). All creations are composed in four hands with a French master perfumer.

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.
