PIVER, PARIS J'ai une petite bouteille avec un dessus en laiton flip Il a un peu de parfum dans la bouteille Our story begins in 1774 in Paris at a perfume store called "A la Reine des Fleurs". Behind the counter stood Michel Adam, a dynamic individual who, in a matter of years, rose to become the official purveyor to the court of Louis XVI and subsequently to the royal families of Europe.

The original is true Russian leather: birch tar with animalic civet, castoreum and ambergris, tied together with the darkest of musks, and only slightly lightened by tonka and amber. Truly masculine and truly great. By all means seek out vintage on this one. Avoid the re-issue at all costs. L.T. Piver was one of the founding houses of French perfumery. In 1813, Louis-Toussaint Piver took over an enterprise that had been founded On July 8, 1774 by Michel Adam, "maître gantier parfumeur versaillais", in a shop at 82, rue des Lombards in Paris under the name "A la Reine des Fleurs".

The objective is to assume and perpetuate the masstige positioning of the current range while also developing new, more "niche" fragrances. Héliotrope Blanc, Cuir de Russie,and Rêve d'Or, inexpensive references popular with perfume lovers, will therefore remain more or less at the same price.Live online bidding is also available via Tennants Livewith an additional charge of 1.5%for this service.

I even saw the place where the raw materials are kept and even large tanks of this juice where one could literally bathe in perfume. If the brand's artisanal know-how is very inspiring, the diversity of L.T. Piver's catalog is equally so. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the brand has been developing soaps for body and hair, scented pastilles, hair ointments, and brilliantines. But also hair lotions inspired by its perfumes Rêve d'Or, Pompeïa, and Héliotrope blanc are still available today.

I still remember the time when I noticed for myself that I appreciate perfumes with leather notes. Since then, I've been browsing the souk of some perfumes consistently for leathery options. In the process, I have discovered that this area is very complex. There are light, dark, suede, suede, chamois leather and so on. The spectrum goes from deeply smoky to floral, from adherent like tar to a fleeting encounter. The expensive solutions are not always the best; the Arabic region has a lot to offer here. Today it is supposed to be about a rather light scent from France, which I find appealing because of its idea, but which is clearly too sweet for me. Whilst every effort will be made to execute absentee bidding, TENNANTS cannot be held responsible for any default or neglect in connection with this service. All such arrangements therefore are made entirely at the prospective buyer’s risk. In 1860, the brand had three factories in Paris, Aubervilliers, and Grasse. The last one is still in operation and carries out the assembly of the raw materials, the maturation of the concentrate, the setting in alcohol, and themaceration.To boost the brand’s renewal, Nelly Chenelat has decided to rely on the olfactory richness of fragrances that survived the past few years without any communication support, thus opening up numerous perspectives. L.T. Piver’s flourishing heritage, a source of inspiration and an ideal basis for storytelling, represents another asset, as is its global dimension, since it sells over 2 million units worldwide (in the Caribbean, the United States, the Middle-East, Cambodia, etc.). In addition to all this, the new owner says, L.T. Piver stands out thanks to its quality craftsmanship. From one side the clear, tagless, empty bottles come in a row. On the other side they are filled, labeled, closed and boxed. How did this happen?

Of course I had to ask Sylvie to smell the pure liquid civet bottle on the right below (synthetic of course). Yes I am brave!

L.T. Piver products included perfumed gloves and fans, face powders, soaps (with extract of lettuce and marshmallow), almond body cream, and iris body milk. This is such a beauty for me because it has an unusual combination of honey & leather, followed by warm spices, oakmoss, amber, woods and resins... what more could you ask for? In fact, every time I spray this it makes me smile! Such a warm and happy vibe! In 1896, Darzens had discovered amyl salicylate (an aromatic, orchid herbal note used as a blender), which he described as "the fragrance of flowering clover under the heat of August". This technology was applied to L.T. Piver perfume, Le Trèfle Incarnat, introduced in 1898. The Growth Of L.T. Piver L.T. Piver claims that its Trèfle Incarnat perfume was the first to contain artificial essential oils. The new products, on the other hand, will have a premium positioning, with the creation of extraits de parfumandnew fragrances. This is a fully-fledged creative effort, drawing on the brand's heritage, withJoëlle Lerioux committed to paraphrasing the olfactory signature of L.T. Piver, making sure not to betray its DNA and to preserve its quality.Cuir de Russie, St. Mary, Eau Triple Ethérée (still in production) and Eau de Cologne des Princes (also in production) L.T. Piver is a very old French perfume house comparable to Guerlain in that it served the Royalty of France in the 18th & 19th Centuries. Today L.T. Piver is located 9 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Paris, from whence it offers contemporary versions of some of its classic fragrances. It also continues to operate through agencies throughout the world.

The brand lived through the decades following the war, in particular by relying on the success of its famous hair “lotions” derived from its perfumes. In 1967, the company was awarded the French Legion of Honour decoration for its longevity and the quality of its products. However, like many old brands, it never really returned to its glory days. In 1989, L.T. Piver was bought by the Franco-Algerian Amouyal family from the Rhône-Poulenc chemical group. Solid foundations for an expected renewal In 1896, Jacques Rouché, a technician and son-in-law to L.T. Piver, became administrator of the business. Rouché was convinced the the future of the business lay in the use of state of the art knowledge of chemistry and he hired Georges Darzens, a prominent chemist, to assist in product development. This is one of the rooms where we can find the individual ingredients that go into all perfumes produced here. Inside these cans and jars the natural and synthetics await the day that they will be mixed to compose a beautiful fragrance. I had the chance to smell them and I was amazed by some particular raw materials and bases like this classic one: mousse de saxe: The objective is to assert and perpetuate the masstige positioning of the current range, while developing new, more “niche” fragrances. Héliotrope Blanc, Cuir de Russie or Rêve d’Or, inexpensive references popular with perfume lovers, will therefore remain more or less at the same price.Last September, during the Tax-Free (TFWA) trade show in Cannes, my colleague Miguel Matos met the new owner of L.T. Piver, Nelly Chenelat. Here he talks about the evolution of this historic company. I recently also had the opportunity to chat with Nelly Chenelat and the brand's new in-house perfumer, Joëlle Lerioux, to discuss the wind of renewal blowing through the brand in more detail. There is a real generosity in L.T. Piver's offer, which is aimed at a wide range of customers, regardless of their purchasing power," observes Nelly Chenelat. "It's a perfumery of beauty and well-being," adds Joëlle Lerioux.

Mousse de saxe is an accord made from geranium, licorice, isobutyl quinoline, iodine and vanillin. It smells earthy and deep, very vintage in style and a great base for the lovers of chypre, for example. It's been used (less and less) since the turn of the 20th century. L.T. Piver claimed a number of "prizes, medals and other distinctions" in the Universal and Colonial Exhibitions — the great trade shows of Europe.
