KISMET EAU DE PARFUM

Kismet, the unexpected in a jar

The Kismet perfume from the famous house named Lubin is a fragrance that evokes the best of those sensations hidden in the skin thanks to its rich accords that form an unexpected mix of elegance. A fragrance from the Citrus family and launched in 1921 by Henri Giboulet to cause unique sensations.

The beautiful Ottoman spy smiled when she saw the small glass bottle that had been created for her. She featured an ornate elephant, an allusion to the verse from Valmiki's Ramayana, because they believed she was an Indian princess.

Spiritual and multilingual, Kismet embraced the mystery surrounding his origins. She reigned supreme at the Paris soirees of the Roaring Twenties for a while, then one day she ran away and was never seen again. All that remained was the memory of her intoxicating scent, the perfume Lubin had made for him.

It comes in a unique and charming container that, thanks to its size, is very practical. It also transmits extreme elegance with its glass bottle and its characteristic cap that represents the most beautiful of the crafts of the time.

Pierre-François Lubin is considered the founder of modern perfumery. The famous perfumer Jean-Louis Fargeon, whose Parisian workshop was near the family home, introduced him to the art of perfumery in 1784, at the young age of 10. Little by little, the young man became the repository of the beauty recipes of the royal court of France. Fargeon, descendant of an ancient dynasty of perfumers originally from Montpellier, was Marie Antoinette's official supplier. After the first stages of the French Revolution, the queen, who had had to move with her family to the Tuileries in the autumn of 1789, received packages from her faithful perfumer through the young apprentice Lubin. The sovereign refreshed herself every day with exquisite preparations made with bergamot and orange essence. She also adored the perfume of roses, which Fargeon extracted with masterful skill, because it reminded her of the gardens of the Trianon.
