In 1792 Louis Marie Aubert du Petit Thouars was a pioneer in French botanical history. During the French revolution, he was exiled to Madagascar, La Reunion and the Mauritius islands where he discovered a vast array of plant specimens. Ten years later and bearing a collection of over 2000 plants, Louis Marie was finally able to return to France where he was elected a member of the prestigious Académie des Sciences. 

With the creation of Maison Louis Marie, Marie du Petit Thouars has built upon the rich botanical history of her family with luxury perfumes that focus on illustrious scents imbued with unique floral fragrances.
