Les Parfums de Xydes

Xydes, a prestigious perfumery company, was founded by Pierre-Andre Pignel in Portugal. Renowned for its exquisite fragrances crafted with meticulous attention to detail, Xydes quickly garnered a loyal clientele. However, in a strategic move to expand its reach and immerse itself in the heart of the fragrance world, the company later relocated to 9 rue Gounod, Paris.

This relocation to one of the most iconic addresses in Paris not only symbolized a shift in geographic presence but also signaled Xydes' commitment to elevating its brand to international prominence. The move to such a renowned location provided the company with greater visibility and proximity to the epicenter of the perfume industry, enabling it to further refine its craft and engage with a discerning global audience.

It's interesting to note that the Greek word "xydes" (ξύδες) is the plural form of "xydi" (ξύδι), which means "vinegar." Therefore, "xydes" refers to "vinegars." This term is used in Greek to describe different types or varieties of vinegar.
