Established in 1665 by Louis XIV and Colbert, the Royal East India Company, known as Compagnie Royale Des Indes, provided thousands of men with the opportunity to embark on remarkable journeys across the seas, bridging the gap between the East and the West. These intrepid explorers, who preceded the great navigators of the eighteenth century, included botanists who traversed the oceans in search of uncharted lands and exotic plants and spices renowned for their unique flavors and legendary properties. Upon their return after months of absence, it was the King’s court that eagerly awaited their discoveries, eager to witness the wonders they had brought back.

In 2016, mindful of its rich history, the Royal East Indies Company once again set sail, retracing its former routes and continuing its exploration of the world in pursuit of plants cultivated in the finest organic gardens. Working in close collaboration with esteemed scientific experts in their respective fields, the Company employs cutting-edge technologies to harness the extraordinary properties of these plants, crafting an extensive selection of infusions, teas, perfumes, and cosmetics.

Compagnie Royale Des Indes Orientales, a new fragrance brand, embodies the essence of this historic enterprise. With a collection of five perfumes, all launched in 2018, Designer Compagnie Royale Des Indes Orientales showcases the brand’s commitment to excellence. The fragrances are the result of collaborations with renowned perfumers Marie Schnirer and Patrice Revillard, ensuring that each scent captures the essence of the Company’s noble heritage.
