Heritage and History

  • Origins: Established in Paris, Caron quickly broke traditional codes with daring, extravagant compositions and avant-garde luxury. 

  • Iconic Milestones: The house launched trailblazing creations like Tabac Blond (1919), recognized as the first leather fragrance, and Pour Un Homme de CARON (1934), history's first fragrance created exclusively for men. 

  • Ownership: Following ownership changes through the decades, the storied house is presently held by Cattleya Finance, the private investment company of Ariane and Benjamin de Rothschild.

Signature Collections and Scents

  • Pour Un Homme de CARON: An evergreen classic built on a striking, clean duality of lavender and sophisticated vanilla. 

  • Modern Lineups: Current offerings span collections like La Collection Merveilleuse and Exclusives, featuring distinct creations such as Tabac Exquis, Vetiver Infini, and Fleurs de Rocaille. 

  • Sustainability: Caron pioneered in-store refillable crystal fountains in the 1980s and continues this eco-conscious approach with refillable bottle options.
