Houbigant was one of the most notable perfume houses of the 18th and 19th century, and was perfumer to the royal courts of Europe including Napoleon, Napoleon III, Alexander III of Russia, and Queen Victoria. The house still produces perfume today and produces scents inspired by their heritage.

Excellent antique condition. Only the slightest trace of wear to enamel, and some light wear to brass. Considering the delicate nature of guilloché enamel this can be considered near-mint.
