Ed Pinaud

Edouard Pinaud from 1877 to 194. The late 1700s origins of the company are obscure, but in 1810, M. Besancon established as small shop that was later purchased by M. Legrand. The business was acquired by Edouard Pinaud, and shop was renamed A la Corbeille Fleurie.



From 1840, all products were sold under the Ed. Pinaud name, even though there were many changes to the company name. In 1852, Emilie Meyer became a partner and the business was renamed Pinaud et Meyer, and a second shop, Parfumerie de la Noblesse opened. Business success led to appointment as perfumer to all European courts around 1860.

In 1872, Meyer's son-in-law, Victor Klotz became a partner. After participation in the 1873 Vienna Exhibition, Pinaud became a household name. The company participated in many exhibitions during the 19th century and was awarded many prizes. The company was a major exporter, especially to the United States, where many Pinaud bottles can be found. At the turn of the century, the Ed. Pinaud building was completed in New York. In 1905, the company was renamed Victor Klotz et Cie, later H. et G. Klotz family business until 1931.
