Marie du Petit Thouars

Marie du Petit Thouars is the founder and creative force behind the fragrance house Maison Louis Marie. A descendant of the renowned French botanist Louis Marie Aubert du Petit Thouars, she grew up in Belgium surrounded by the lush gardens of her family estate, an experience that deeply informed her botanical approach to scent creation.

Her work is characterized by a focus on sustainable, nature-inspired compositions that often highlight specific floral or woody notes. She is best known for her signature scents such as No.04 Bois de Balincourt, a popular sandalwood-forward fragrance, and the various candles and perfumes released under her eponymous brand, which emphasize clean, evocative, and minimalist olfactory profiles.
