Le Jardin Retrouve

Le Jardin Retrouvé was founded in 1975 by Yuri GUTSATZ, Perfume - Composer, who had spent the greater part of his career working in one of the most prestigious French companies producing aromatic products. It was the very first of what would later become known as “niche” perfume brands. Yuri Gutsatz thereby became the founding father of an entirely new way of creating and selling perfume. At the time, Le Jardin Retrouvé was sold exclusively in “hip” places and garnered an impassioned following. Extraordinary quality and reasonable prices were Yuri’s credo for his creations. Yuri died in 2005, and Le Jardin Retrouvé slowly declined but never disappeared, thanks to its clients’ unwavering fidelity. In 2016, Yuri and Arlette’s son, Michel, decided to revive Le Jardin Retrouvé with his wife Clara. They sold the old family house in order to do so, but have kept the treasure­ trove of notebooks and ingredient bottles from decades past, preserving all of Yuri’s formulas and writings for the benefit and pleasure of future generations. Designer Le Jardin Retrouve has 19 perfumes in our fragrance base. The earliest edition was created in 1963 and the newest is from 2024. Le Jardin Retrouve fragrances were made in collaboration with perfumers Yuri Gutsatz and Maxence Moutte.
