Parfumerie Lubin was established at 11 rue Royale, Paris in 1798 by Pierre-Francois Lubin as Aux Armes de France, a perfume boutique that produced a range of fragrant lotions, powders and toilet waters. Lubin claimed ownership and use of all the secret beauty formulas of the French court.
His success was so great that in the 1800s, Lubin became the favorite supplier of most European royal courts. He was appointed Perfumer to Princess Pauline Borghèse in 1807 and in 1821 Perfumer to King George IV, who had given many rare and costly perfumes to Mrs Fitzherbert, his lover and later wife when he was Prince Regent. Lubin also provided perfumes to the Emperor of Russia.
The firm fortunately fell into the hands of Princess Borghese, who allowed her name to be linked with the Lubin creations. The perfume, Pauline, was created by Pierre-François Lubin; named after Pauline Borghese; she was the recognized leader of fashion and a great beauty of her time. Eau de Toilette from 1808 was also created for her.
In 1824 Felix-Andre Prot (1811 to 1885) became Lubin's apprentice, Eugene Rimmel's father, H. Rimmel was also apprenticed there. Later Felix-Andre Prot successed Lubin after his death in 1853 and the company passed onto his heirs in 1885 and Felix's son Paul joined the company. and became Paul Prot & Cie around 1900.
The house of Lubin was the first to solicit the North American market, aiming at the plantation culture of the South. A depot was established in London and distributed by Chandon of New York. Lubin Inc. established in 1928. Lubin have created about 465 fragrances to date. (2005).
Company closed in mid 1980's. Company re-established in 2004/5; launched 'Idole de Lubin' in 2005 - other re-issues followed.

" It is said of one particular perfume: Enigma: If all the sands were pearl, the waters nectar, and the rocks pure gold, then one could learn from Egypt's plains, the secret of this elegant odor. It is well named because it will not tell its secrets, but nonetheless, it is a beautiful perfume, delicate, agreeable and lasting."
