Jehanne Rigaud

Jehanne Rigaud is a French niche fragrance house built around the creative vision of its founder and perfumer, Jehanne Rigaud. As a perfumer-founder working under her own name, Rigaud belongs to the artisan category of French perfumery where the creator and the brand are effectively inseparable — every release a direct expression of personal artistic intent rather than a commercially calculated product brief. Her work tends toward intimate, carefully composed fragrances that prioritize emotional resonance and textural complexity over commercial accessibility. The house occupies the ultra-niche end of the French artisan spectrum, attracting devoted followers among fragrance enthusiasts who seek perfumery as a fine art rather than a lifestyle accessory. Rigaud's background and training situate her within France's deep tradition of independent perfumers who graduated from established houses before setting out on their own creative terms. Distribution is selective and limited, consistent with the brand's artisan scale and the uncompromising standards that define this tier of French perfumery.
