The perfume house Parfums d'Orsay stands as a truly aristocratic fragrance line hailing from France. Its philosophy is rooted in quality, understatement, character, seduction, celebration, creativity, and originality, with a deep pride in its long-standing traditions and heritage.
While the house never belonged to Count d'Orsay himself, his perfumes and the romantic allure of his name gave rise to the Compagnie Française des Parfums d'Orsay. Founded in 1908, its mission was to preserve the Count's perfume legacy and build an aristocratic luxury perfume house upon it.
The founders spared no expense in crafting the brand's image: sourcing ingredients of the finest quality, using Lalique and Baccarat crystal bottles, and establishing private factories for perfume production. The company thrived, creating numerous exquisite fragrances. Several of these, including the legendary Etiquette Bleu—conceived by Alfred d'Orsay himself—remain part of d'Orsay's modern collection.
Since its inception, Count d'Orsay has served as the house's "face." His legendary love story, aristocratic elegance, and trendsetting taste proved to be the perfect endorsement for its fine products. Even though "aristocracy" and "luxury" have long been closely intertwined in human history, the early 20th century brought a poignant awareness of the distinction between them.
In February 2007, the house was acquired by Marie Huet, who was captivated by its history and fell in love with the precious d'Orsay fragrances. Thanks to Marie, d'Orsay scents began to reach perfume stores beyond their native France.
