E. Coudray

A small perfume shop M.Maugenet & E.Coudray was established in Paris around 1810. Edmond Coudray, a doctor-chemist, traveled over the world bringing back exotic raw materials. 1837. the house of Coudray became the official supplier to the British Court. Coudray Parfums remained the family business until 1908. when it was acquired by Edouard Colmant. After the World War II the house was revived thanks to survived formulas of perfumes. Early Coudray's perfumes (before the war) includes Reve de Paris (1920), Nohiba or Tulip Noir (1922), Charme de France (1920), Onyx Noir (1930), etc. After the war Coudray launched Reve de Reine, Kamelia Iris, Givrine, Vanille, Vanille Coco, Jacinthe Rose, the celebrated Aqua Divina, etc. The modern history of Coudray began in 2002. with a new owner, who does care about the traditions and the image of the house of Coudray. Almost all modern fragrances of Coudray are based on old formulas and even have the same names (Vanille et Coco, Jacinthe et Rose, Givrine, the newest Nohiba). Designer E. Coudray has 16 perfumes in our fragrance base. E. Coudray is an old perfume house. The earliest edition was created in 1935 and the newest is from 2018. E. Coudray fragrances were made in collaboration with perfumers Gerard Anthony, Evelyne Boulanger and Cécile Zarokian.
