The Story Goes On

Founded in 1808, Plisson has long embodied Parisian-born French luxury, excellence, and savoir-faire, cultivating a discreet yet enduring presence in history.

From its beginnings in the Palais-Royal, the Maison has served influential figures—including Napoléon Bonaparte— by offering refinement without excess and craftsmanship without compromise.

Over the decades, it has remained faithful to this demanding ideal, creating shaving and skincare products of the highest quality while embracing innovation and modernity.

Today, this timeless legacy evolves into a new form.

Plisson: Elegance in Fragrance

Plisson now expands its universe into niche fragrances, a natural extension of the values that have always defined the Maison: precision, elegance, craftsmanship, noble materials.

Guided by the artistic direction of Thomas Villeneuve, visionary co-owner and dedicated guardian of its family-run spirit, this new chapter honors Plisson’s heritage while venturing into new creative horizons.

Each creation reflects the same meticulous attention to detail, the same quest for balance and timeless beauty.

"For this inaugural collection, we have returned to the origins of Plisson 1808, inspired by Napoléon. Together with Isabelle, my wife and partner at Plisson, we have crafted fragrances where timeless elegance and noble materials come together in an audacious olfactory vision that reveals the invisible poetry of humanity to elevate and to conquer."

- Thomas Villeneuve, President of Plisson 1808

From Napoléon’s Morning to Modern Elegance

Uncovering fragrances reveals another facet of the refined rituals Plisson has long helped confident men cultivate, a natural extension of a heritage deeply rooted in the art of personal care.

These rituals were once epitomized by Plisson’s most illustrious client, Napoléon, renowned for his sophisticated and, for the time, unprecedented approach to self-care.

Every morning, his Plisson shaving soap marked the first perfumed gesture of the day, spreading on his skin a scent of cedar and sandalwood recognizable among all. Always faithful to his habits, he carried everywhere his favorite bottles, alongside custom-made shaving instruments created especially for him.

In this spirit, today’s fragrances are conceived as modern companions—daily essentials imbued with story, presence, and intention.

Six Stories, One Spirit

In the same spirit as Plisson’s iconic range of products, each fragrance is meticulously crafted in France from exceptional, noble ingredients. Entrusted to master perfumers these creations reveal not only a signature but a presence—luminous, distinct, and unmistakably Parisian.

United under the evocative name of Collection 1808, these six compositions trace an olfactory portrait in echoes: a tribute to a man, to an era and to the spirit of excellence that still animates the House. Each of them embodies a facet of Napoleon’s personality - his conquests, his exiles, his light and his inner fire - while continuing the quest for elegance and accuracy that defines Plisson.  Universal and timeless, Plisson fragrances celebrate heritage not as a constraint but as the foundation of an assumed modernity.

Together, they form a portrait in echoes: of a name, a silhouette, a man whose influence still resonates through the centuries. Universal and timeless, Plisson’s fragrances honor heritage, not as a constraint but as a foundation for its vision of modernity.
