Odeon

Odeon is a French fragrance brand founded in 1935 by Jan Fromek, now operating under the Euromedia Group. The name invokes the Odéon theatre tradition — Paris's Left Bank cultural institution associated with intellectual and artistic ambition — giving the brand a cultivated, cinematic identity from the outset. Founded in the interwar period, Odeon's original fragrances would have been composed in the classic French manner, with the rich aldehydic florals, mossy chypres, and opulent orientals that defined 1930s Parisian perfumery. Contemporary Odeon carries forward this vintage-cultural aesthetic, appealing to consumers drawn to the glamour of golden-age cinema and the atmospheric richness of mid-century European fragrance composition. Under Euromedia Group, the brand occupies a heritage-accessible position, offering genuine French provenance and aesthetic continuity at prices that make it broadly approachable. For fragrance enthusiasts who love vintage French character without the cost of rare vintage bottles, Odeon provides an accessible alternative with a legitimate historical identity.
