Vanille Impériale by Houbigant, eau de parfum

The story of Vanille Impériale

Vanille Impériale elevates vanilla into an amber, floral eau de parfum. Blood orange, bergamot and neroli open the composition, before a sunny heart of tuberose, rose, jasmine and vanilla.

The base, warm and powdery, blends amber wood, amber, ambrette and musk. Created by Luca Maffei and Antoine Lie, this creation wraps the skin in a precious, imperial trail.

The house

HOUBIGANT

Founded in 1775 by Jean-François Houbigant, the House of Houbigant is one of the oldest French perfume houses, spanning four centuries of history. From its earliest days, it won over the royal courts of Europe, notably Marie-Antoinette and Empress Maria Feodorovna of Russia. A pioneer in the art of perfumery, Houbigant introduced major innovations, such as the creation of "Fougère Royale" in 1882, which established a new olfactory family. Today, the House continues to blend tradition and modernity, offering refined fragrances that carry on its legacy of excellence.
