THE HISTORY

The sun reflected on the water surrounding the Deauville-La Touques racetrack, as Albert Fouquet stood among the elegant spectators gathered in the stands, captivated by the excitement and elegance of the world of horse racing.

Deauville, with its splendor and sophistication, was the perfect setting for race lovers and high society. Every summer, Christian, an aristocrat with great skill in betting, invited Fouquet to share in the thrilling atmosphere of the racetrack. They both enjoyed the excitement of the event while discussing strategies and calculating the odds of the different runners. They had been repeating these relaxing days at Christian's mansion in Honfleur, just a few kilometers from Deauville, for years.

Albert’s passion for creating exclusive perfumes was sparked by the incomparable scent emanating from Christian’s lush garden. Among the soft notes of Honfleur roses, the freshness of the sea, and the scent of coastal vegetation, Fouquet created a unique fragrance that evoked the beauty and elegance of coastal life. From then on, every summer, he would visit Deauville carrying this perfume.

Christian was fascinated by the captivating scent of Albert's creation. He found himself facing a difficult task, as he was well aware of Fouquet's discretion. A discretion that prevented him from sharing the perfumes he created exclusively for personal use.

During one of the thrilling races, Christian decided to challenge Fouquet with a fun proposal: “Follow my advice, in the next race bet on Grillemont, Boussac's stable never fails me. If you win, in exchange, you’ll reward me with your perfume.” Fouquet accepted the challenge with a smile, eager for the outcome.

The two friends immersed themselves in the excitement of the race, with Fouquet closely watching every move of the horses. However, Grillemont finished in third place. Christian, in addition to suffering a humiliating defeat before his friend, would continue without obtaining the coveted perfume.

However, as a gesture of sincere friendship, Albert Fouquet, upon returning to Paris, prepared a special version of the perfume using roses from the Honfleur garden, cedarwood, and musk. He sent this exquisite creation to his friend Christian, labeling the bottle with a reminder of that afternoon at the racetrack: "Le Pari d'Honfleur".

Years later, Brigitte, Christian's wife, confessed to Fouquet that "Le Pari d'Honfleur" was the best card Christian played to win her heart.
