Carmen de Tommasso, born in 1909, founded the company Carven in 1945. She set up shop near Champs Elysées in Paris in France. She focused on fragrances, accessories and fashion and couture for petite women. Her elegant fashion creations that were inspired by travel and artistic motives featured lace and embroidery and were very feminine. By the end of the 1960s Carven also sold men's wear and a jewellery collection. From then it took a few years only until the brand had gathered a solid fan base. Her designs were particularly popular in Japan where women have always been rather petite. Japanese women appreciated that de Tommasso designed beautiful collections that would perfectly suit their shorter and slim body shapes.
The first fragrance under the brand name of Carven, Ma Griffe, was launched in 1946. The green chypre with floral notes has been a favorite for more than 60 years. When she launched the fragrance, she created thousands of tiny bottles attached to small parachutes and had a small plane fly above Paris, releasing them down like rain over the people in the streets! The perfume experienced an immediate success and Ma Griffe, meaning ‘My Signature’ was launched into the stratosphere!! Fragrantia.
Chasse Gardée is the third perfume by Carven. This third wonderful Carven perfume was released in September 1950 in Biarritz, on the occasion of a gala chaired by King Farouk of Egypt, in a very pleasing tumult of packs of dogs, and hunting horns. This fragrance evokes the undergrowth and symbolizes the splendor of the hunt. It was inspired by the excitement of hunt .. "private hunting grounds" is the direct translation of the name. The nose behind this fragrance is Yuri Gutsatz.
