In the 17th century in particular, the golden age of this profession, there were 250 perfumers and glove makers in Paris. They worked according to a charter granted to them by King Louis XIV. In their shops, they sold perfumed gloves, supreme elegance of that era, perfumes, hair powder and make-up.

Salons de Parfums
Their shops, essentially located in the old center of Paris, were richly decorated: elegant furniture and armchairs, Spanish leather-covered walls, marble floors, decorated ceilings and soft lighting. The epitome of refined elegance. When clients came to buy their perfumes, they would stay on for awhile in the "boutique" and chat while the perfumer prepared their order, hence the appellation "perfume salons" or "perfume cabinets" = "salons á parfums". This setting has inspired Jean F. Laporte to create the Parisian shops of "Maítre Parfumeur et Gantier". He has chosen to recreate the particular style of a 17th century "perfume cabinet" where gold, grayish green and raspberry red dominate in a luxurious and refined atmosphere.

Childhood memories by Jean F. Laporte
"The memory of my first olfactory sensations date back to when I was a four-year old child. My paternal grandmother, deeply interested in botany, taught me how to evaluate flower, leaf and fruit odors. This awareness has never left me since. This first impression of my childhood was always the catalyst for my studies and training to become a perfumer. After being "l’Artisan du Parfum", I created in Paris a new concept in perfumery: "Le Maítre Parfumeur et Gantier.” Unique in its kind, this creative concept allies respect of tradition of French perfumery quality with innovation and originality.
