Erik Minati at Soleil d'Or, a Lille perfumery since 1953

Founded in 1953 by Jeanne Muyllaert on Lille's Grand'Place, Soleil d'Or is an independent perfumery passed down through the generations. Hubert Maes (third generation) steered it towards niche perfumery; today his daughters Victorine and Apolline Maes (fourth generation) uphold this standard at 22 rue de la Clef, Lille (59800), with expert advice, guided trials and our olfactory families guide.
