Quelques Fleurs L'Original (EDP)

"Quelques Fleurs L'Original is Houbigant's celebrated grand floral, widely cited as one of the earliest true multi-floral bouquet fragrances. It opens with green-citrus brightness and aromatic lift before unfolding into an expansive heart packed with white flowers, rose, lilac, carnation, and powdery floral tones. The base adds classical warmth through oakmoss, musk, sandalwood, amber, honeyed sweetness, and an animalic undertone. Modern market listings for the Eau de Parfum commonly date it to 1912 or 1913, while review sources also note that the original fragrance was later discontinued and relaunched as L'Original in the 1980s. In character, it reads as elegant, vintage-leaning, opulent, and unmistakably floral. It remains one of Houbigant's signature heritage perfumes and a reference point for traditional bouquet-style perfumery."
