Founded in Paris in 1720 by Fargeon Aîné, perfumer and distiller to the Court, Oriza became Oriza L. Legrand when Louis Legrand took over at the beginning of the 19th century. Under Antonin Raynaud, the house enjoyed a new period of growth before disappearing in 1939. Hugo Lambert and Franck Belaiche-Bonniot revived it in 2012, drawing on its archives.
Oriza L. Legrand draws on its archives to reinterpret historic compositions using carefully selected raw materials and the expertise of French artisans. Its style evokes the splendour of the court, the Belle Époque and Art Nouveau, reflected in its bottles and presentation boxes, while production remains French.
Oriza L. Legrand fragrances are all sold out at Fragsplit right now.
