About Quelques Fleurs
Houbigant is best known for Fougere Royale from 1882, the first fougere fragrance ever created, which invented an entire fragrance family and set the template for hundreds of men's fragrances that followed over the next 140 years. Quelques Fleurs remains the most sought-after fragrance in the catalog, built on bergamot, lavender, oakmoss, rose, geranium, coumarin. The concentration and quality of raw materials used sets it apart from what you find at a similar price point from mass-market houses.
Fougere Royale takes the line in a different direction. Where Quelques Fleurs is the anchor, Fougere Royale shows the range's willingness to explore contrasting scent families. Orangers en Fleurs rounds out the catalog with a third option covering men and women who want yet another direction in the same quality tier.
