In 1822 during the reign of Louis XVIII Edmond Coudray, doctor-chemist started to supply Eau de Cologne, creams, soaps, salves and pomades to the crowned heads of England, Belgium, Italy, Austria, Brazil and Russia. He soon began to concoct luxurious perfumes for them and he still has devoted fans today. This brand, along with L.T.Piver, Lubin, Houbigant and Guerlain was among the five greatest perfume-makes of the 19th century. The house is reformatting the original perfumes, religiously preserved in its archives and cultivating the concept of the "Bath" with its pioneering perfumed body creams.
