Maître Parfumeur et Gantier
Maître Parfumeur et Gantier revives a very old French tradition — the perfumed-glove maker, a trade that dates to when gloves were scented to mask the smell of the leather. The house makes refined, classically French fragrances with a heritage sensibility, and the name itself ("master perfumer and glover") is a nod to a craft most people have forgotten existed. For a fragrance with genuine French lineage and none of the mass-market gloss, it's a lovely, under-the-radar choice.
