For over 150 years, the House of Roger&Gallet has been distilling moments of happiness through refined fragrances and exceptional perfumed skincare products. Heir toAqua Mirabilis, a miraculous water created in the 17th century and renowned for its beneficial properties, the brand has established itself as an essential reference in the world of perfumery and well-being.
It all began in 1693 with the creation ofAqua Mirabilis by Giovanni Paolo Feminis, a young Italian with a passion for the virtues of officinal plants. His elixir, based on regenerating neroli, refreshing lavender, anti-inflammatory lemongrass and antiseptic thyme, crossed the centuries until Jean Marie Farina, who modernized its formula and made it legendary as Eau de Cologne.
In 1806, Farina moved to Paris and became the perfumer of choice for Europe's royal courts. His Eau de Cologne seduced prestigious personalities such as Napoleon I and Empress Eugénie, affirming its status as an exceptional fragrance. The fragrance is appreciated for its invigorating freshness and ability to awaken the senses, offering an olfactory experience unheard of at the time.
The story took a new turn in 1862 when Armand Roger and Charles Gallet inherited this precious elixir and founded the house of Roger&Gallet. In an effervescent Paris, between the construction of theOpéra Garnier and the boom in department stores, the brand revolutionized the world of perfume with daring creations, scented skincare and soaps of unrivalled quality. Since then, the brand has distinguished itself by its innovative approach, developing products that combine sensory pleasure with natural benefits.
Among its flagship innovations, Roger&Gallet created the very first heart-scented round soap in 1879. Unlike the rectangular bars of soap of the time, this new shape ensures a perfect grip and a unique sensory experience. The secret? Traditional cauldron production, based on ancestral know-how that guarantees continuous, even diffusion of fragrance right up to the last use. These soaps, enriched with natural essential oils, leave the skin feeling soft and fresh, offering a unique skincare ritual.
In the 1930s, the company inaugurated its emblematic boutique on rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, a veritable temple of happiness where elegant Parisians flocked in search of bewitching fragrances. The boutique became a landmark, embodying French luxury and refinement. Then, in the 50s, with the rise of wellness rituals, Roger&Gallet toiletry essentials became a must-have in every French bathroom.
Roger&Gallet has always drawn on nature to offer authentic, skin -friendly skincare products. In the wake of the original Eau de Cologne recipe, the brand guarantees formulas with a minimum of 90% ingredients of natural origin, no colorants and an alcoholic base derived from natural resources. This approach is resolutely ethical and eco-responsible, promoting environmentally-friendly ingredients and limiting the ecological footprint of production.
Each product is enriched with beneficial plant extracts, carefully selected for their therapeutic virtues and ability to awaken the senses. Our soaps and shower gels have a 100% plant-based cleansing base, for ultra-gentle application that respects even the most sensitive skin. This demand for quality is backed by a strong commitment to preserving French craftsmanship, guaranteeing local, responsible production.
Each Roger&Gallet fragrance is a unique sensory evocation, transporting the spirit to distant and enchanting destinations.
Since its creation, Roger&Gallet has embodied an art of living where olfactory pleasure and natural benefits are one and the same. Each product is an invitation to travel, a suspended moment where the senses are awakened and well-being is absolute. Thanks to exceptional ingredients, artisanal manufacturing and a strong commitment toecology and naturalness, the brand perpetuates a unique savoir-faire, the heritage of a long tradition of visionary perfumers.
