Founded in 1808, Plisson is the oldest French house dedicated to the art of shaving — an institution of which Napoleon himself was one of the first clients. In 2025, the House launches its first fragrance line: Collection 1808. Six universal eaux de parfum, drawing their inspiration from the great facets of Napoleon’s destiny. Behind each bottle lies the same exacting standard as behind the razor: precision of gesture, nobility of materials, refinement without ostentation. Plisson brings to perfumery two centuries of artisanal rigor and a historical singularity that is rare in the contemporary niche landscape.

The brand

Founded in 1808 under the arcades of the Palais-Royal, Plisson is the oldest French house dedicated to the art of shaving, of which Napoleon was one of the first loyal customers.

The House extends more than two centuries of expertise into niche perfumery, translating into its fragrances the same precision of gesture, the same nobility of materials, and refinement without excess.

Its first fragrance collection, Collection 1808, brings together six universal eaux de parfum inspired by different facets of Napoleon’s destiny. Creations with character, designed in Paris by renowned perfumers, where heritage and modernity engage in a measured dialogue.

The story

The story of Plisson begins in the Paris of the First Empire, where the House crafted shaving instruments for the most discerning men of its time.

Among them was Napoleon, who took his accessories and fragrances with him even on his campaigns. Generation after generation, Plisson has perfected this art of ritual, faithful to a craftsmanship that is passed down without ever becoming fixed in time.

Under the impetus of Isabelle and Thomas Villeneuve, this living heritage now opens itself to a new language: fragrance.

Collection 1808 does not break with the history of the House; it continues it through its trail.

The founders

Co-owners of Plisson, Isabelle and Thomas Villeneuve are driving the renewal of this historic House and are committed to preserving its family spirit. Together, they envisioned Collection 1808: “We created fragrances where timeless elegance and noble materials meet in a bold olfactory vision, revealing the invisible poetry of humanity to uplift and inspire.”

Why we chose Plisson 1808

"Plisson 1808 does what few houses dare: extract the very substance of History and turn it into fragrance. Here, there are no vague allegories. Six eaux de parfum cut like blades, each carrying a precise facet of the Napoleonic destiny. Enthusiasts sense it immediately: a clear architecture, raw materials of rare density, and trails that assert themselves without forcing. It is not nostalgia that guides Plisson, but precision — that of the perfect gesture, repeated for two centuries. A collection that summons the empire of the senses."
