It was in 1960 that Pierre Berdoues took over the management of the family business. Then, it will be Sophie Berdoues, the great-granddaughter of the founder, who will take over the orders in 1990. Berdoues fragrances are inspired by nature, and the ancestral know-how of the brand. With the “Grand Crus” Collection, the Berdoues house pays tribute to many countries.
