Houbigant was the favourite perfumer of Marie Antoinette and Madame de Pompadour. After the French Revolution, the business .. now managed by his descendants .. continued to prosper during the Napoleon’s Empire, and in 1838 Houbigant perfumes reached the dressing table of Queen Victoria. At the threshold of the 20th century, Houbigant incorporated Art Nouveau and oriental influences, and in the twenties and thirties it turned to the geometry of Art Deco. Houbigant created such evocative perfumes as Fougère Royal and Le Temps des Lilas.
Mon Boudoir was launched in 1918, and was classified as a oriental fragrance for women with a dominant sweet animalic ambergris note. A very risqué name for a perfume that evokes sexuality.

Middle notes Bulgarian Rose, Rose Mai, Jasmine, and Lilac
Base notes are Sandalwood, Ambergris, and Vanilla
