A true Parisian great figure, refined, original, aesthete, Siki de Somalie was born in a princely Somalian family. From this nomadic life she acquired a taste for original combinations, and her imagination has no limits : pieces that she hunts around for all over the world or made by herself, her boutique is an amazing mix of styles and periods. Collectors have always remained faithful to her and followed her from the Palais Royal, where she was established, to Saint-Germain-des-prés. Have we found a worthy heiress to Madeleine Castaing ?

An address known by all, which nevertheless keeps the assets of a secret of initiates. The Place, like a setting, is ideal to house adeline Roussel’s creations. In the world of mini jewelry she has a special place: each of her jewels is unique and her universe mixes eras, inspirations, with a crazy talent.
La Belle Juliette also offers a spa and this place, as the Belle Juliette, is delightful : the cubicles are warm, the pretty pool incites to relaxation, but above all the cares given are really innovative : created by Céline Claret-Coquet, who has a degree from the Academy of Pekin, they are stemed from the Chinese medicine, based on seasons and on our biorhythm.

The Australian brand of organic and trendy cosmetics decided to open its first European boutique in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-prés. Its philosophy is to offer well-targeted and high-quality care products without omitting that we also love products that give us sensorial pleasure, a little bit as a spa can offer.
Every product is made with a mix of high-quality and concentrated ingredients : essences of plants very much sought-after (tea tree, bitter orange, tangerine, coriander, geranium) with delicate and refined perfumes. There are no animal ingredients and the synthetic preservatives are reduced to the minimum and are replaced by vegetable products. We also like the way products are presented : in simple and opaque bottles, in order to preserve them from ultraviolet rays and to preserve their integrity.
Frédéric Malle produces perfumes as others produce design, it means that he lets the greatest perfumers work without the slightest restriction. They create authentic artistic creations with very asserted character that we cannot do without once we have tried them. To discover them you will be able, in a décor imagined by Andrée Putman, to enter in a “Colonne à Sentir” (“column to smell”), an invention which takes you progressively into perfumes, lets you learn to love them. A very beautiful experience.
Everything started with Pierre-François Lubin, who created his Maison de Parfumerie (Perfume shop) in 1798, to give to “Incroyables” (the Incredible Dandies) and to “Merveilleuses” (the fine ladies) (our ancestors!) perfumed ribbons, masks for balls and face powder, but most of all, his famous “eau vivifiante”(invigorating-bracing water) which became “L’Eau de Lubin” (Lubin’s Water). Lubin’s fame reached empress Joséphine and Pauline Bonaparte, and he became their favorite before becoming the one of Marie Hélène de Bourbon and of all European sovereigns. One century later, in the Roaring twenties, a new perfume is created every year. The Art Deco perfume bottles are designed by Julien Viard and Maurice Depinoix and the luxurious editions are made of Baccarat Crystal.
Lubin’s perfumes are the symbol of French elegance, particularly in the United-States, and until 1975 success has continued before the brand felt into oblivion with the massive appearance on the market of perfumes made by top fashion designers. In 1999, Gilles Thévenin, director of creation at Guerlain at that time, decides to give a new life to Lubin, which still represents to him the quintessence of French luxury. It is a titanic project but, fortunately, he has a great part of the 450 scents created by the brand and he decides, with Olivia Giacobetti’s help (one of the famous noses of French perfumery, remember En Passant at Frédéric Malle) to put some of them back on the market, alternating with the creations of new fragrances.
A little spa as discreet as perfect, which gives home-made cares (a beauty care concentrated in hyaluronic acid is highly prized) as well as complete formulas like a steam bath, followed by a body scrub then by a Balinese or Oriental massage. There is also a large range of body cares and facial skin cares that are all personalized.
L’Artisan Parfumeur was created by Jean Laporte in 1967. He wanted to combine ancestral knowledge and contemporary creation. In 1978, he created Mûre et Musc (Mulberry and Musk), the cult perfume of L’artisan Parfumeur. It was one of a kind at that time, and it remains a standard reference perfume. Since that the brand has collaborated with the most famous noses : Bertrand Duchaufour, Olivia Giacobetti, Jean-Claude Ellena, Karine Vinchon, Michel Almairac and Elisabeth Maier, to create original and out of the ordinary fragrances.
Patricia de Nicolaï created those perfumes for home, but also for us, our men end even our children in 1989. In all of her creations we can recognize her touch, or more precisely her nose, and her predilection for white flowers and amber-based hints. Maharadjah is the leading essence of the brand, but it would be a pity to leave behind the eaux fraîches (fresh waters), which are perfect for the bathrobe.
