Maison CARON: a story of daring

Maison CARON: a story of daring

Founded in 1904 by Perfumer-Founder Ernest Daltroff and the visionary Félicie Wanpouille, CARON is a French Maison of High Perfumery. The meeting of these two minds gave rise to iconic fragrances. In 1919 came Tabac Blond. In 1934 came Pour Un Homme de CARON, the first men’s fragrance. 

CARON has pushed the boundaries of High Perfumery with its singular, free, revolutionary spirit. Full of character, Maison CARON has encapsulated a sense of daring throughout the ages. Today, its strong heritage melds with an artistic sensibility reinterpreted.

Pioneering mind that stay first in line

Avant-garde Maison, CARON entered uncharted territories of scent, orchestrated encounters between contrasting worlds, flooded the world with charm.

The first perfume for men, Pour Un Homme de CARON. The first leather creation in perfumery, Tabac Blond. The first Maison of High Perfumery to present the refillable fountain format. The first stackable perfume bottle.

Its sole guiding principle is to stay ahead of the times in order to capture their essence more fully.

Between past and present

Between past and present

CARON’s heritage is reflected in its contemporary creations. Fragrances from the past converse with the latest.  

The original essence of Pour Un Homme de CARON has been reinterpreted for 2024 with Pour Un Homme Parfum. Narcisse Noir and Lady Caron, meanwhile, grapple with scandal and sensibility. Tabac Blond and Tabac Exquis set a tone of transgression and emancipation. Pois de Senteur and Belle de Niassa speak of flowers whose essence remains illusory, imaginary. Fleurs de Rocaille and Musc Oli tap into synthesis to stay ahead of current tastes.

Indeed, CARON lets past and present visit and influence.

A pop up address full of artistry

The pop-up revisits the architecture of the ground floor of the CARON boutique at 23 rue François 1er, Paris.
This transformed retail space is an alliance of heritage and modernity.

The cut-stone walls echo the façades of Parisian edifices.
A majestic, reinterpreted fountain reigns at its center, cunningly referencing the Maison’s trademark perfume fountains from the 1980s.
The pop-up’s shelves display bottles of original fragrances that sit side by side with a few historical fragments.

This newly designed pop-up presents five major creations, each as recognisable and iconic as the last.
Visitors are invited to discover, contemplate and, of course, enjoy these scents to their heart’s content

At the dinner celebrating the 90th anniversary of Pour Un Homme de CARON, conversations flowed and visions converged. It was in this context that CARON’s Artistic Director, Olivia de Rothschild, met the designer, architect and founder of CROSBY STUDIOS, Harry Nuriev.

 

Olivia’s daring spirit became acquainted with Harry’s transformative mindset. The two shared a fervent desire to cast a light on the Maison’s heritage and reinterpret the conventional, in-store High Perfumery experience. Their sights were set on a new generation of scent enthusiasts.
