Founded in Paris in 1904 by self-taught perfumer Ernest Daltroff, CARON was born from his collaboration with Félicie Wanpouille, a bottle designer and artistic partner. The house achieved its first major successes with Narcisse Noir and Tabac Blond, then made history with Pour Un Homme in 1934. Acquired by Alès in 1998, it came under the control of Cattleya Finance in 2018.
CARON cultivates a free, contrasting and generous approach to perfumery, where opulent materials meet unexpected accords. The house champions fine perfumery founded on the nobility of its ingredients, creative intuition and presentation expertise, including its refillable bottles and crystal fountains.
Right now at Fragsplit, 1 Caron fragrance is available as a 1 to 10 ml decant: Belle de Niassa.
