# Solférino Paris ## Facts | | | |---|---| | Founded | 2024 | | Origin | France | | Headquarters | Paris | | Owner | Inter Parfums, Inc. | | Status | Active | | Website | https://solferino-paris.com/ | Solférino Paris is a French fragrance house based in Paris and owned by Interparfums SA, the licensed-fragrance specialist also known as Inter Parfums. Announced at the end of 2024 and brought to market in 2025, it is the company's first proprietary perfume brand [6][7]. Its collection centres on gender-neutral eaux de parfum, each built around a place or moment in the city. The house takes its name from 10 rue de Solférino, the Paris address of Interparfums' headquarters — a former private mansion long known as a stronghold of the French Socialist Party [6]. Sources differ on when to date the brand: it was created and announced in 2024, while its ten eaux de parfum went on sale in 2025 [5][8]. ## Origin & founders Solférino Paris did not grow from an individual founder. It was conceived inside Interparfums SA as an in-house project, and Philippe Benacin, the company's chairman and chief executive, decided to launch the collection [6]. Rather than a single perfumer-founder, the debut range was developed with a group of perfumers, among them Tanguy Guesnet, Nathalie Lorson, Anne Flipo and Antoine Maisondieu. ## Ownership As part of Interparfums SA, Solférino Paris sits alongside the group's licensed fragrance business — which produces scents for labels such as Coach, Jimmy Choo, Montblanc and Lacoste — but differs from them in being wholly owned rather than made under licence [7]. The wider Inter Parfums portfolio also includes names such as Lanvin, Rochas, Goutal Paris and Guess. ## Products & positioning The debut collection comprises ten gender-neutral eaux de parfum, numbered 01 to 10, each inspired by a Parisian location or moment; the brand's own site also lists a seasonal addition. Individual scents include "01 - Rêverie sur Seine", a woody neroli composition; "02 - 10, Solférino", a rosy floral that shares the house name; and "05 - Un Samedi à Paris", a woody gourmand created by perfumer Tanguy Guesnet [9]. The fragrances are positioned at the high end of the market. Solférino Paris presents itself as a "Maison de Parfums" devoted to, in the company's words, "excellence in fragrance," inviting perfumers to interpret different visions of Paris. The Perfume Society describes the house as one "shaped by memory, intellect and restraint," favouring "ingredients that feel honest" and making perfumes for "people who live with scent rather than wear it for effect" [10]. It has been associated with a quiet, understated register of perfumery rather than loud statement scents. ## Recognition & press The launch drew coverage across trade and beauty press in 2025. WWD reported the brand's unveiling, and FashionNetwork covered its arrival as Interparfums' first high-end perfume brand [7]. Grazia UK reviewed "Un Samedi à Paris" around the brand's British debut at Selfridges, noting that the retailer had not taken on a new fragrance brand in some time [9]. ## Current status The brand is active. Through 2025 it opened its first boutique at 310 Rue Saint-Honoré in Paris, put its eaux de parfum on sale from July at the Publicis drugstore on the Champs-Élysées, and launched in the United Kingdom at Selfridges [8][9]. ## Sources 5.
