Rigaud Paris, LLC
The First Scented Candle, Paris Since 1852
Jean-Baptiste Rigaud moved from the Auvergne to Paris in 1852 and built a perfume house. In the late 1950s, his descendants Mario and Viviane Rigaud combined fine fragrance with a patented soft wax to make what is generally credited as the first scented candle: Cyprès, still the house classic. Rigaud candles are still handmade in France.
