Revillon
From Siberian fur to Parisian perfume — luxury across centuries.
Revillon Frères began as La Maison Givelet in 1723 and was transformed into a fur dynasty after Louis-Victor Revillon purchased the house in 1839. By the early 20th century Revillon Frères was the largest fur company in France, maintaining warehouses across Siberia, Turkestan, Mongolia, and Canada and boutiques on the luxury streets of Paris, Moscow, London, and New York. Entry into perfumery came in the 1930s — partly inspired by the success of rival furrier Weil — and the first fragrances launched in 1934 and 1935 bore names reflecting the house's exotic trading geography: Amou Daria, Latitude 50, and the original Egoiste. Revillon later acquired Caron in 1962 and Millot in 1963, deepening its position in French perfumery. Although the house released fewer than a dozen fragrances over eight decades, several — including Detchema and Revillon pour Homme — became quietly beloved classics. Revillon's fragrance legacy is that of a luxury goods house that brought the gravitas of its fur heritage to a small, carefully considered and geographically evocative portfolio.
