Jean Charles Brosseau

Jean-Charles Brosseau, a Parisian fashion designer, launched his own perfume house at just 25 after graduating from fashion school in 1955. In 1970, he opened a boutique at Place des Victoires and began exploring perfumery in 1978. His iconic debut fragrance, Ombre Rose, was released in 1981 and became a global bestseller after its initial success at Bergdorf Goodman in New York. The house later released follow-ups like Fleurs d'Ombre Ombre Bleu (1987) and Ombre d’Or, both rich in floral and oriental notes.
