It is not an exaggeration to say that, without the House of Houbigant, modern perfumery as we know it today would not exist. It all began with just a basket of flowers. Jean-Francois Houbigant, hung a hand painted sign of a basket of flowers over his little shop in rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. From the start his fragrances found favour with royalty and the nobility.
The late Lady Diana, Princess of Wales, wore Quelques Fleurs L’Original on her Wedding Day, which was a special gift to her from the House of Houbigant.
