We are a young company created in 2003 by four "musketeers" who bring their complementary talents and skills to this adventure.

Eric de Lalande is a specialist in the international distribution of fragrances: he has been operating in this sphere for twenty five years, driving forward the marketing operations of large groups such as LVMH and Shiseido.

Yves-Marie Degliame is the man who creates the products and controls manufacturing costs. No detail will escape his eagle eye, as for the last twenty years he has been in charge of creative development and production at Parfums Givenchy.

Paul de Gerlache is an experienced banker and keeps the accounts and finance in good order.

All the three men needed now was the feminine touch and Gwenaelle Couteaux, with her experience as head of marketing at Parfums Yves St Laurent and her specialist knowledge as fragrance assessor at ISIPCA, will be more than qualified to contribute this essential element.

They are all passionate about beautiful perfumes and have set themselves a challenge: to launch successful niche fragrances, which are simple and of high quality, at accessible prices, without advertising hype, focussing on a new consumer trend: the desire, observed in a growing number of countries, to find products which express the values of authenticity, quality and simplicity.

Their first creation is Accord Parfait.

It has been launched in France and then progressively in Europe, Asia and the United States.

A further launch occured in 2004 under licence for Parfums du Prince Jardinier.

Whilst still concentrating on the success of their first creations, Quatre-Vents Prestige is also working on other projects for the future.
