D'ORSAY

Maison D'ORSAY is a historic French niche perfume house founded in 1830 by the aristocratic French dandy, painter, and sculptor Count Alfred d’Orsay. The house was born out of a secret love story: Alfred created the very first fragrance to share secretly with his married muse, Marguerite de Blessington. Because they both wore the exact same scent from a bottle hidden with a blue ribbon, D'ORSAY is widely credited with inventing the first unisex or genderless perfume in modern history.

The Story of Maison D'ORSAY

Maison D'ORSAY is a historic French niche perfume house founded in 1830 by the aristocratic French dandy, painter, and sculptor Count Alfred d’Orsay. The house was born out of a secret love story: Alfred created the very first fragrance to share secretly with his married muse, Marguerite de Blessington. Because they both wore the same scent from a bottle hidden with a blue ribbon, D'ORSAY is widely credited with inventing the first unisex or genderless perfume in modern history.

After fading from the spotlight over the decades, the house was discovered and revived in 2015 by Amélie Huynh. Today, Maison D'ORSAY continues to craft high-end, gender-transcending fragrances produced entirely in France using independent master perfumers. The modern line retains a signature poetic quirk: every fragrance is named after a clue-phrase inspired by love letters, signed with the anonymous initials of the muse who inspired it.

Popular D'ORSAY Fragrances

D'ORSAY’s perfumes are split into elegant Eaux de Parfum (lighter, airy, and intimate) and highly concentrated Extraits de Parfum (richer, high-potency blends). Here are some of the house's most notable current releases:
