Established in 1920 from Amboise, France, Jardin de France Perfumery manufactory got its name from this majestic region called 'The French Gardens'.
Jardin de France... Soon one century of history for this niche brand who celebrates its 90th birthday this year.
Its noble roots dating back to Amboise, the cradle of the Renaissance, associated with such big names as Leonardo da Vinci and Julius Caesar.
This small town with a great reputation and a great historical past is also known for its gardens of the Mediterranean trees.
Here in 1920 began the adventure of Mr. Bonneau who exploits his formulator talents in developping his own brand of eau de Cologne.
Mr. Bonneau's floral olfactory emanations acquire very quickly a regional awareness in the Loire Valley at that time called "the garden of France".
Mr. Bonneau will join in 1949 Marcel Gozard in the aim to develop this wonderful adventure of the fragrant alchemy.
After the war, during the years of longing for beauty and glamour, more than its eau de Cologne, Jardin de France offers rice powder and flowery lotions.
The traditional perfume factory stays the property of Gozard family for nearly half a century, before being taken over by a young businessman Bertrand Sonnier.
Hard worker and unifier, Bertrand Sonnier has gathered around him a team in his image, open and cosmopolitan.
From a small family business, he transformed Jardin de France in a real development engine.
In 2007, following the rising demand for organic products, Jardin de france obtained the Ecocert certification.
This year will be marked by another event: Eau de Cologne 1920 gets the Oscar by Cosmetique Magazine as the best product of the year for mixed scents.
Today Jardin de France products are at the Galeries Lafayette, and in the biggest stores in Tokyo and Seoul, Rome and Dubai, Manila and San Paolo, Stockholm, Hong Kong and Singapore..
