Robert Bienaimé

Robert Bienaimé was a legendary French perfumer born in 1876 in Paris's 8th arrondissement. He began his career around 1910 at Houbigant, where he worked under the direction of Paul Parquet until 1935. At Houbigant, he created some of the most iconic fragrances in perfume history, including Quelques Fleurs (1910), which mixed multiple flowers and became one of the brand's best sellers, continuing in production to the present day. In 1935, Bienaimé established his own house, Parfum de Bienaimé, creating 60+ fragrances before the house ceased operations in the late 1940s. He passed away in 1960.
