# Jovoy Paris - Rare Niche Fragrances from the French Perfume Capital
## The Story of Jovoy Paris - From the Roaring Twenties to Niche Perfumery
Jovoy Paris embodies a captivating tale spanning two distinct eras. Originally founded in 1923 by Blanche Arvoy, the house conquered Parisian high society with opulent fragrances housed in whimsical animal-shaped bottles. The name "Jovoy" emerged from blending her nickname "Jo" with her surname Arvoy - a personal touch that reflects the brand's intimate character.
After more than 80 years of obscurity, François Hénin revived Jovoy in 2010 with a vision far beyond simple restoration. He aimed to establish Jovoy as an ambassador of rare perfumery. Hénin's background as a globetrotter and his experiences in Grasse and Vietnam, where he operated a distillation factory, shaped his deep understanding of precious raw materials.
Today, Jovoy stands for a unique dual identity: as a perfume house creating original compositions while its legendary Parisian boutique on Rue de Castiglione serves as a "mecca for niche fragrances." This combination makes Jovoy an authentic ambassador of French perfume tradition, masterfully balancing rarity with accessibility. The brand's philosophy centers on exploration, wonder, and making exceptional olfactory journeys available to fragrance lovers worldwide.
