Quelques Fleurs was created by Houbigant perfumer Robert Bienaimé, a prestigious perfume that was named after Jean- François Houbigant’s Paris shop “Basket of Flowers”.
Jean-François Houbigant (1752-1807) launched his perfume business at 19, Faubourg Saint- Honoré, Paris, in 1775. He was at the time only twenty three years old and is said to have arrived at the location of his business with a basket of flowers. Quelques Fleurs was launched in 1912. A perfume Houbigant would have been proud of.
Part of my perfume collection and a necessity is Quelques Fleurs, even though it has been said to be watered down with time by a company that bought out the line of perfume at one point, I still think it has an outstanding scent.
