Just after the French Revolution, in 1798, Pierre Francoise Lubin founded his Perfume House, at 53 rue Sainte Anne in Paris, calling his shop the "Bouquet de Roses" (in immitation perhaps of Houbigant's similarly named shop, the "Basket of Flowers"). Along with perfumed ribbons and gloves, ball masks and rice powders, Lubin's most famous creation was the "Eau Vivifiante" later called simply "Eau de Lubin". This fragance won him the favour of the Imperial Court and the patronage of Empress Josephine and Pauline Bonaparte, Princess Borghese.

With the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy, the perfumer dedicated his fragrances to the last Queen of France, Marie-Amelie. Thanks to these ladies, the crowned heads of Europe began to patronise Lubin. Amongst the Royal Warrants in the Lubin archive are that of the King of England and the Russian Tsar Alexander 1st. He also added the American Eagle to the list, as he was the first perfume maker to conquer the new world in 1830. From the banks of the Mississippi to the palaces of India, Lubins fragrances became famous the world over.
