"Founded in 1828 on Rue de Rivoli, this historic perfume house created the eau de cologne Impériale for Empress Eugénie to celebrate her marriage to Emperor Napoléon III in 1853. Four generations of master perfumers produced more than 600 scents before the label was acquired by Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton in 1994, and the house remains widely regarded as an embodiment of Parisian perfume heritage." - Kasia Dietz
