125 years of creativity and innovation
1901
La Maison Godet was founded by Julien-Joseph Godet in 1901.
For him, composing a fragrance goes hand in hand with artistic creativity. The result is not guided by a desire for consensus, but by instinct and the search for rare, high-quality natural ingredients.
1908
Julien-Joseph Godet meets painter Pierre Bonnard.
This led to the creation of Fleurs de Reine, the first perfume to dare to use the cold enfleurage technique for tuberose.

Sonia Godet, fourth generation, took over the family business in 2016.
Following in the footsteps of her ancestors, Sonia is committed to making perfume a true work of art, perfected down to the smallest detail: each bottle is blown and shaped by a master glassmaker, and the maceration and distillation processes for the flowers follow traditional manufacturing methods.
