One of the biggest buzzes when I was at Esxence was the relaunch of a once-popular perfume house, Le Galion. Originally founded in 1930 by Prince Murat, it was sold in 1935 to perfumer Paul Vacher*, already well-recognized for creating Arpège with André Fraysse in 1927. With his direction and perfumery skills, he created the iconic Sortilège, the signature scent of The Stork Club in the 1930s, until  Le Galion fell into decline in the 1980’s, (after the death of M. Vacher in 1975).  Thankfully, about two years ago, Creative Director and new owner Nicolas Chabot resurrected this once great House, and nine of the original 24  perfumes.
