The Maison and Its Fragrances
Chabaud is a French artistic perfumery house founded in Montpellier, a city with a centuries-old tradition in the production of essential oils and fragrances. Each creation is crafted with an artisanal approach, inspired by memories and emotions, and transformed into evocative scents. Chabaud’s philosophy is based on refined simplicity and French savoir-faire, with creations ranging from gourmand to floral, woody, and oriental compositions.
Chabaud fragrances are divided into different collections, designed to suit a variety of tastes and preferences:
- Gourmand Collection: inspired by childhood memories, with soft, sweet notes of vanilla, caramel, and white flowers.
- Floral Collection: elegant compositions featuring orange blossom, jasmine, rose, and ylang-ylang.
- Woody & Oriental Collection: intense and sophisticated fragrances with notes of amber, musk, sandalwood, and patchouli.
- Aromatic & Fruity Collection: fresh and vibrant perfumes with bergamot, lemon, mandarin, and ozonic accents.
Each Chabaud fragrance is produced in France using selected raw materials and traditional craftsmanship. The perfumes are created in Grasse, the world capital of perfumery, where expert perfumers develop refined compositions. The bottles are made in Normandy by historic glassmakers, all in respect of French artisanal heritage

Fragrance Guide & Usage Tips
To choose the perfect scent, consider three key elements:
- Olfactory notes – Do you prefer fresh and citrusy, soft and floral, or deep and enveloping fragrances?
- Season and time of day – Fresh, citrus scents suit summer; warm, spicy notes are ideal for winter.
- Occasion – Opt for lighter scents during the day and more intense ones for the evening.
If unsure, try the Discovery Kit to test several fragrances on your skin before choosing.
Each fragrance is composed of three layers that evolve over time:
- Top notes: the first impression (citrus, fresh herbs)
- Heart notes: the core of the fragrance (flowers, spices)
- Base notes: the most persistent (woods, musks, resins)
Understanding the olfactory pyramid helps you choose a perfume that suits your skin and personal taste.
To preserve the quality and longevity of your perfume:
- Store it in a cool, dry place, away from light and heat sources.
- Avoid the bathroom, as humidity may affect the formula.
- Always close the cap properly to prevent the most volatile notes from evaporating.
- Spray on pulse points (wrists, neck, behind the ears).
- Moisturize your skin before applying: dry skin holds scent less effectively.
- Lightly spray on clothes and hair for longer projection.
- Avoid rubbing your wrists together after application, to preserve the fragrance structure.
