Founded in 1860 by watchmaker Louis-Ulysse Chopard in Sonvilier, in the Swiss Jura, Chopard moved to Geneva in 1937. In 1963, Karl Scheufele acquired the maison and gave it fresh momentum in watchmaking and jewellery. The fragrance business began in 1992 with Casmir, before a dedicated perfume house was created in 2017.
In perfumery, Chopard connects the world of jewellery with carefully selected natural materials and a responsible luxury approach. Since 2017, its Haute Parfumerie has notably worked with Alberto Morillas and Nathalie Lorson, using traceable ingredients and bottles crafted like precious objects. The collections also explore oud, vetiver, vanilla and citrus notes.
Right now at Fragsplit, 2 Chopard fragrances are available as 1 to 10 ml decants: Nuit des Rois, 1000 Miglia.
