Jean Couturier had a long-standing career in the perfumery industry. In the 1960s, he collaborated with Yves Saint Laurent and was among the co-founders of YSL Parfums. He was involved in the launches of iconic fragrances such as Rive Gauche and Y, and also created the Azzaro brand.
Coming from a family of perfumers—with both her mother and grandmother in the trade—Jacqueline "Jacky" Couturier became a perfumer in Grasse. In 1972, she and Jean Couturier co-founded their own perfumery house. It was in 1973 that Jacqueline developed the house's renowned perfume, Coriandre.
Jacqueline "Jacky" Couturier once spoke of the fragrance: “With Coriandre, I sought to capture the olfactory emotions of my youth: the subtle, delicate scent of my mother, and the captivating aromas of the countryside in Grasse.”
Coriandre was reintroduced with a reformulation in 1993.
Designer Jean Couturier's portfolio includes 17 perfumes in our fragrance database. The earliest was crafted in 1973, and the most recent dates from 2025.
