La Closerie des Parfums

by Valérie Madrid

Created in 1972 by brothers Antoine and Hervé Madrid, then taken over by the latter's daughter Valérie Madrid, La Closerie des Parfums was inspired by the special moments we find in the "closeries", these small intimate gardens nestled in the secret streets of Paris. In these places, you escape the bustle of the city, to give way to relaxation, and especially to daydreaming.

The brand has a unique signature for the composition of its fragrances: one emblematic raw material of the traditional French perfumery, associated with exotic spice, all worked with accords that come to sublimate the materials. For the artistic director Valérie Madrid, La Closerie des Parfums allows her "taste for exoticism to be combined with the great tradition of French perfumery ».

« For me, the idea of the closerie is ideal. First, because it is a garden which curates the must beautiful essences. But also because you go there for a change of scenery. Our fragrances are designed from this duality. Always mixing the familiar with the unknown. Combining a delicate Parisian memory with the seductive promises of faraway lands. I am originally from Bordeaux, the renowned spice hub, and I like to dream of other horizons. With the closerie, I can combine my taste for exoticism with the great institution of French perfumery »
