Penhaligon's, established in London 1870 is an iconic fragrance house that continues to innovate as it did with Mr. William Penhaligon's first fragrance, Hamman Bouquet. Penhaligon's creates fragrances that stay true to its founding principles of quality, luxury and innovation. Penhaligon's connection with the British Royal family goes back over a century when William Penhaligon's was appointed Royal Barber and Perfumer to the Court during Queen Victoria's reign. In 1903 the business was granted its first Royal Warrant and 140 years later Penhaligon's continues to hold Royal Warrants, one from The Prince of Wales and one from the Duke of Edinburgh.
L'Artisan Parfumeur was founded in Paris in 1976 by perfumer-chemist Monsieur Laporte. L'Artisan Parfumeur believes that fragrance is the craft of masters, artistic creations that leave a mark on you and in the mind of others. With the launch of Explosions de Emotions the brand has been propelled into a new world of fragrance after having created such iconic scents as the now famous Mure Et Musc. Artisanal attention to detail comes together with poetry, imagination and expertise in the creation of all L'Artisan Parfumuer's fragrances. From its home in Paris, opposite the Palais du Louvre, L'Artisan Parfumeur stands out as an authentic "maison de parfum."
