Charriol
L'art de vivre la différence.
Charriol is the Geneva-based watch and jewellery house the French entrepreneur Philippe Charriol founded in 1983. The Celtic line, with its twisted-cable bracelet motif borrowed from Celtic torcs, was the founding signature and remains the patented identifier across watches, jewellery, leather goods, and writing instruments. The brand renamed itself from Philippe Charriol to Charriol in 1999. Fragrance came late, in 2008, with a paired Eau de Toilette pour Femme and pour Homme, and has expanded modestly since — most prominently with Philippe Eau de Parfum pour Homme in 2014, named for the founder. The compositions sit in the accessible designer tier and read as adjuncts to the watches rather than as core house work. Philippe Charriol died in a racing accident in 2019, and the company continues under family ownership with around forty boutiques worldwide.
DNA over time
Each column is an era. Each colored band shows that family’s share of accord weight across every perfume the house released in that window. Bigger band = the house leaned harder on that family.
