Parfums Elite emerged as a distinguished fragrance label resulting from the collaboration between the renowned Elite Model Management and Jeanne Arthes parfums. Elite Model Management, founded in 1972 by John Casablancas and Alain Kitler, has established its headquarters in both New York and Paris, solidifying its global presence with branches spanning across multiple continents. Throughout its history, the agency has represented numerous top fashion models in each era, including the likes of Carol Alt, Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Eva Herzigova, and Coco Rocha, among countless others. Notably, Elite Model Look, an annual competition sponsored by the company since 1983, has acted as a catalyst for launching the careers of many aspiring fashion models.

Jeanne Arthes, a prestigious French fragrance company under the umbrella of the Arthes Group headquartered in Grasse, further enriched the partnership. To delve deeper into Jeanne Arthes and explore their offerings, kindly refer to their Fragrantica page. This collaboration witnessed a groundbreaking alliance between Coty and Elite in October 2011. Subsequently, a new line of fragrances was scheduled for an early 2012 launch, impeccably timed to coincide with the prestigious Elite Model Look Contest.

Designer Parfums Elite proudly boasts a collection of ten distinct perfumes in our fragrance base. The earliest edition emerged in 2006, while the most recent addition hails from 2012. These remarkable fragrances were masterfully crafted in collaboration with esteemed perfumers Richard Herpin, Henri Bergia, Marie Salamagne, Emilie Bevierre-Coppermann, Vincent Schaller, and Christophe Raynaud.
