Founded in 1961 by André and Coqueline Courrèges, Maison Courrèges revolutionized the world of couture and design. Movement, purity, color, light: from 1965, Courrèges asserted its style, favoring structured lines, making white sacred, then multiplying variations on color and new materials like vinyl. Eminently optimistic and lively, Courrèges never ceased to shake up every field she ventured into.It was in 1971, 10 years after the launch of the House, that André Courrèges delivered his interpretation of perfume with Empreinte, a legendary scent of the 70s. In 2015, Courrèges signs a new emblematic creation: La fille de l'air, an airy and singular orange blossom. September 2020, Nicolas Di Felice is appointed Artistic Director of Courrèges. Passionate about the world of perfume, he initiates a new project, in harmony with the total, enveloping universe he expresses for fashion, renewing the tradition of the couturier-perfumer. To mark the 60th anniversary of Courrèges, 50 years after the launch of the first fragrance, Nicolas Di Felice wanted to give new life to the House's perfumed universe by sculpting a singular, signature olfactory dimension.
