Houbigant was a perfume manufacturer founded in Paris, France in 1775 by Jean-François Houbigant of Grasse originally selling gloves, perfumes, and bridal bouquets. Houbigant is one of the world's oldest perfumers. Older Houbigant perfumes and bottles are collectable. The company ceased to be independent in 1995, although the name Houbigant and the names of many of its products continue.Amongst their fragrances are Lutece perfume, Raffinee perfume and Quelques Fleurs perfume, Essence rare perfume, presence perfume and many more. The Houbigant fragrances Quelques Fleurs (the first true multi-floral bouquet) and Quelques Fleurs Royale (which is based upon the formula created for Princess Adelaide D'Orleans) are now being manufactured under the original specifications by LOFT Fashion and Beauty Diffusion of Monaco and marketed in the United States by Exclusive Fragrances and Cosmetics.

His house, the first to use coumarin, is recognized as “perfume of royalty” the likes of Napoleon and Josephine, Her Majesty Queen Victoria of England and the Imperial Court of Russia. Today, Houbigant has stretched beyond its royal roots, navigating a tumultuous mass market.
