Summary

Houbigant Quelques Fleurs L'Original is the historic 1912 multi-floral composition created by Robert Bienaimé. Bergamot, galbanum, tarragon, and lemon bring a bright green opening before the fragrance expands into a lush floral heart of jasmine, tuberose, lily of the valley, violet, rose, ylang-ylang, carnation, broom flower, orange blossom, and clove. Oakmoss, sandalwood, civet, cedarwood, musk, orris, and tonka bean form its classically structured woody base. The result is elegant, powdery, mossy, and richly floral, with the depth and formality of traditional French perfumery.
