To conceive our new fragrances, our perfumer immersed himself in the pages of our precious formulation bible, skillfully adapting its guiding principles to the spirit of the times. This extraordinary expertise, bequeathed by our illustrious Louis Toussaint Piver, was the result of his relentless pursuit of excellence, giving rise to a singular manufacturing method—jealously safeguarded by the House and remaining inimitable to this day.
A Legacy of Craftsmanship
As the last French Perfume House to have resolutely preserved artisanal manufacturing processes, the brand has set itself apart by defying the relentless pace imposed by our era. True to its mission, the House upholds its own manufactory in Chartres, where each fragrance is meticulously crafted on-site using time-honored techniques, with an unwavering commitment to artisanal excellence.

Quality Control
and Preparation of
Raw Materials
Upon arrival, all raw materials undergo a meticulous analysis conducted by a team of expert technicians. With the aid of advanced scientific control equipment, we ensure the utmost purity and quality of each ingredient. Once approved, every material is carefully classified and stored in glass containers, thus preserving its integrity for formulation.


Essential
Oil Formulation
Before entering production, each component of the fragrance is meticulously weighed with utmost precision. Solid elements are dissolved using specially designed agitators, ensuring perfect homogenization at the very core of the vessels. Once the blend is prepared, it is transferred to a cellar, where it macerates with pure alcohol for approximately three to four months. This extended maturation period allows the more than 100 natural ingredients to harmonize seamlessly, stabilizing each fragrance while enriching its depth. This time-honored technique also reflects our commitment to sustainable perfumery, reducing solvents and prioritizing natural raw materials, primarily sourced from Grasse and Italy.





Filtration
& Quality Control
At the end of the maceration process, the fragrance is drawn off, cooled, and filtered to ensure absolute purity. It then undergoes a series of quality controls to verify its compliance with essential criteria such as color, clarity, alcohol content, and, of course, its olfactory profile. Each inspection ensures that our creations meet the highest standards of excellence


Bottling
Process
Once approved, the fragrances are transferred into a “fontaine de bon” before reaching the filling workshop. To prevent any interaction between different creations, each fragrance has its own dedicated network of pipelines and motorized pumps. The filling process is carried out under vacuum, ensuring optimal precision for every bottle. A specialized system is also in place for small batches, guaranteeing consistent quality regardless of production volume.




Hand Labeling
& Sealing
Our artisans meticulously apply each label by hand and delicately seal the bottles—a final touch that
reflects our dedication to detail and exceptional craftsmanship.


Careful
Encasing
The finished products are carefully boxed, ready to be presented and shipped, ensuring an unboxing experience that upholds artisanal craftsmanship to the very end.





Final Quality Check
& Preservation
Once filling and packaging are complete, each fragrance undergoes a final quality inspection, assessing both its scent and presentation to ensure a flawless experience for our clients.
