Les Eaux Primordiales, the Haute Parfumerie house created by Arnaud Poulain in 2015, has made its mark in less than five years among the world's finest retailers (Harrods, Selfridges, Galeries Lafayette, Liberty, etc.).
Positioned in a very high value-added segment, Les Eaux Primordiales has continued its conquest and continues to open prestigious accounts internationally.
Wishing to equip itself with the means to achieve its ambitions and faithful to its regional roots, Arnaud Poulain has brought in two major industrialists from the Hauts de France: Francis-Charles Pollet, founder of the Promod group, Thierry Letartre, owner of Laboratoires Anios, and Edouard Herbo, founder of the family office Keepers.
