Gilles Cantuel

Paris-based fragrance company Gilles Cantuel began offering fine fragrances in the 1980s. Its first fragrance, Créature, was released in 1985 as a floral fragrance for women. The brand’s creative identity brings together fragrance composition and distinctive bottle design, exemplified by the Arsenal series, whose grenade-shaped bottles contain fragrances for both women and men. Launched in 1996, Arsenal is the brand’s defining fragrance line and has been followed by multiple flankers. A fragrance reference records Gilles Cantuel creations from 1985 through 2019, including Arsenal, Créature, Flowers, Blue, Leather, Noir, Silver, and Vanilla.
