“From petals to resins, from sea breezes to precious woods, each fragrance we create pays homage to our botanical heritage while infusing it with a distinctly contemporary sensibility.”
Constance and Marguerite de Monravel
An independent house,
rooted in longevity
Maison Monravel draws its inspiration from the legacy of Louis de Montravel, a visionary 19th-century botanist.
A great traveller with a deep love of nature, he devoted his life to rare and medicinal plants, sensing both their healing power and their bewitching beauty.
In the footsteps of this pioneering spirit, Constance and Marguerite de Monravel founded the house that bears his name. They travel the world in search of singular, precious and little-known essences, from which new compositions are born, blended in Grasse.
For their debut collection, they imagined six elegant and deeply restorative botanical candles and scented stones. Launched in October 2025 at Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche in Paris, Maison Monravel is now carried at Liberty in London and 10 Corso Como in Milan.
A discerning, sensitive, and enduring vision.
Independent and family-owned, Maison Monravel embodies a profound commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and meaning. From the finest raw materials to the subtlety of the artisan’s hand, every detail is carefully considered to bring beauty, elegance, and authenticity, in harmony with nature and life itself.
A botanical heritage
Louis de Montravel was born in 1823 in Joyeuse, in the heart of the Vivarais in Ardèche. Educated in Paris, Lyon and Grenoble, he was drawn to botany, natural history and literature. A learned botanist, he built through a lifetime of travel a remarkable herbarium, guided by his love of rare and medicinal plants.
A member of the Lyon Society of Natural History, the National Society for the Protection of Nature, and the Society of Sciences and Letters of Ardèche, he dedicated his life to the study and preservation of plant species.
The viscount died in 1909, leaving behind archives, herbariums and writings that still speak today of his visionary eye for the living world.
