Summary
Maison Louis Marie is rooted in a rich family legacy of botanical exploration and fragrance, beginning with Louis Marie Aubert du Petit Thouars, a pioneering figure in French botanical history. Exiled during the French Revolution to Madagascar, La Réunion, and the Mauritius islands, he spent a decade studying and collecting over 2,000 plant specimens. Upon his return to France, his work earned him election to the prestigious Académie des Sciences. That spirit of curiosity and reverence for nature lives on through the brand today. Founded by Marie and grown in collaboration with her husband, Matthew Berkson, Maison Louis Marie blends heritage with modern sensibility. Together, they are deeply committed to clean beauty and non-toxic fragrance creation. Each scent is thoughtfully composed to be distinctive and memorable, without the use of toxic or environmentally harmful ingredients. All products are cruelty-free, vegan, and crafted with integrity honoring both the past and the planet.
