À La Reine des Fleurs

Invented in 1704 in Cologne by the Italian, Giovanni Paolo Feminis (1660 – 1736), “Eau de Cologne” exuded a natural freshness and cemented the decline of the strong and heady fragrances of the epoque. For the brand’s centenary celebrations, Alphonse Piver created in 1874 “A La Reine des Fleurs”as an Eau de Cologne. That same year, the writer, Gaston Vassy, made a Romanesque homage to the Maison, publishing “The Queen of Flowers, a Hindu Legend” which was an invitation on a voyage towards the lands of India.

Rêve d'Or

In 1889, LT Piver dreamed of the Orient (REVE D’OR(IENT) as did the whole of the West at this time whilst they played out their thoughts on the countries of the East. Flaubert had written “Salammbo” whilst Delacroix’s paintings depicted the women of Algiers. A European Eau de Parfum would never be as appreciated as much as this fragrance. Its unique scent, composed of rare essences transcended the flows of time to become an unmistakeable attribute of identity for the countries of the Orient that is handed down from generation to generation. 

Pompeïa

The magic of the“Pompeia”elixir has been around since 1907, the date at which this scent came into existence under the impetus of Jacques Rouche, then manager of the LT Piver Maison. By baptising the fragrance with this name, this eternally curious man (notably of archaeology) wanted to allude to the famous ancient city of Mount Vesuvius imprisoned by ravines of lava in the year of 79 AD, and from which a main route was created in the 19th century. There is definitely an essence of the tragedy of Pompei in this fragrance, with its whispered notes, a pleasant sensation of chaos which clasps hold of you and never lets you go. 

Parfum d'Aventure

The 20th century is the age of speed and travel. Created in 1931, "A Scent of Adventure" caters to the deep-seated desire to discover the world and explore its unknown territories. The vibrant graphics of the label and box attest to this thirst for adventure.

Original Care

In a world where the past subtly blends with modernity, some ancient beauty secrets endure, reflecting a time with different practices. Over 5,000 products once filled the L.T. Piver catalogues. Since then, no other skincare and cosmetics brand maintains such a diverse range. Some treasures of the past weren't abandoned because of their flaws, but simply due to changing tastes and the quest for novelty.

Today, there's a renewed appreciation for these products with their straightforward formulas and intuitive use. The iris milk, gentle and soothing, cleanses the skin with an old-world tenderness. Beef marrow, nutrient-rich, remains an elixir for shiny, nourished hair. The lettuce sap soap, reminiscent of lush fields, hydrates and comforts even the most sensitive skin. And Mao Tcha is simply a toothpaste powder, gently refreshing and purifying teeth, a fine balance of softness and hygiene.

Héliotrope Blanc

In 1885, Alphonse Piver, the nephew of Louis Toussaint who held a passion for Chemistry and innovation, created “Heliotrope Blanc”, the first Eau de Cologne that brought together natural raw ingredients and Heliotropin, a manufactured molecule discovered by the German Chemists, Fittig and Mielk. This mythical scent travels through continents and time, all the way to the Caribbean, where still today it has an avid audience. It is even said that “Heliotrope Blanc”, “the plant that follows the sunlight” in Greek, has the bold ability to bring good luck. 

Eau des Princes

Between 1774 and 1852, the LT Piver Maison would continue to evolve under different political regimes: monarchy, The First Empire, restoration and The Second Empire. “L’Eau de Cologne des Princes” bears witness to the attachment of the L.T. Piver Maison for the reigning aristocracy. According to legend, Napoleon 1st would liberally use the Eau de Cologne, to the point at which he would even soak sugar cubes in the fragrance that he would then enjoy savouring. 

Cuir de Russie

In 1786, a two-masted ship capsized south of the English coast, carrying reindeer leather from Saint Petersburg bound for Genoa. In 1973, the cargo was unearthed, with the leathers remaining intact. Beyond its incredible durability (partly due to a drying process that remained secret until 1917), Russian Leather possesses a unique scent that perfumers worldwide strive to replicate. L.T. Piver's rendition provides a trail of exceptional elegance.
