Rémy Latour
The choice of elegance.
A Paris-based fragrance label active since the late 1980s, best known for Cigar (1996), an aromatic-fougère men's eau de toilette with a tobacco, honey and patchouli signature that became a fixture of duty-free and discount-fragrance shelves through the 2000s. The house is part of Parfums Parour, a French distributor that develops accessibly priced designer-style fragrances for global export. Beyond Cigar, the catalogue includes a small set of women's launches and men's flankers, mostly in conventional aromatic and oriental idioms. Pricing sits firmly in the mass tier, and distribution skews toward online perfume discounters and gift sets rather than department stores. For most wearers, Rémy Latour means Cigar specifically — a cheap, recognisable, faintly retro alternative to richer tobacco compositions from higher-tier houses.
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.
