Fragrance house

L'Arc

L’Arc Parfums was founded in Grasse in 2013 by Fadi Al Haddad, with an origin story drawing on the travel writings of the 18th-century French architect-perfumer Maître de Claude. Its identity brings together art, travel, and the architectural metaphor of an arch, presenting each fragrance as a journey across a physical or inner boundary. Established in Grasse and now based creatively in Paris, the brand organizes its work through two complementary collections: Voyage Odyssey, associated with places and the architect-perfumer’s travels, and Mémoire Odyssey, centered on inner experiences and sensory memories. Its early creative work included collaborations with Julien Rasquinet, Jean-Claude Astier, Marc-Daniel Heimgartner, and Christian Carbonnel. L’Arc made its retail-market debut at Moscow’s TSUM in November 2019.
