Our story begins almost 20 years ago on Rue du Cherche Midi, tucked away in the heart of the Left Bank of Paris. An oasis among the hustle and bustle of cosmopolitan life, Rue du Cherche Midi’s historic corridors offered a welcome respite where visitors could take a breath, reflect and find a moment of solitude. Wanting to capture this feeling and share it with others, Le Cherche Midi was born and began a journey to inspire others to experience their own ‘found moments’ through fine fragrance.

We spent the next two years perfecting our first fragrance, Le Cherche Midi 01, using the ideas, images, and feelings of an ocean-side retreat as our inspiration. Le Cherche Midi 01 quickly developed a dedicated following, transporting our customers to another time and place unique to each individual. Knowing that we could never capture all these memories, places or moments in a single title, we decided to leave the fragrances unnamed – identified only by a color and number – allowing everyone to create their own interpretation of what our fragrances suggest.

With this philosophy in mind, we have continued to expand our collection to include a wide range of sophisticated fragrances that are meant to be worn on the skin and used in the surrounding environment. So we hope you enjoy finding your ‘moment’ in all of our fragrances and welcome to Le Cherche Midi!

Cécile Hua, Perfumer

Cécile Hua was born in Marseille, France and knew by the age of 7 that she was destined to become a perfumer. After earning a Master’s Degree in Chemistry to lay the foundation of her technical knowledge for perfume creation, Cecile was accepted to the invitation-only Givaudan Perfumery School in Grasse, where she furthered her understanding of creative fragrance development. Graduating first in her class from the world’s most prestigious perfumery school, Cecile decided to take her talent and ideas to New York, where she was the first recipient of the Fashion Group International ‘Rising Star Award’ for the Fragrance Design category in 2003. Since then, Cecile has been the creative inspiration behind many of today’s most recognized fine fragrances.
