The Quiet Legacy Behind One of Clean Beauty’s Most Coveted Fragrance Houses With Marie du Petit Thouars Founder & Creative Director, Maison Louis Marie

Maison Louis Marie is rooted in a rich family legacy of botanical exploration and fragrance, beginning with Louis Marie Aubert du Petit Thouars, a pioneering figure in French botanical history. Exiled during the French Revolution to Madagascar, La Réunion, and the Mauritius islands, he spent a decade studying and collecting over 2,000 plant specimens. Upon his return to France, his work earned him election to the prestigious Académie des Sciences. That spirit of curiosity and reverence for nature lives on through the brand today. Founded by Marie and grown in collaboration with her husband, Matthew Berkson, Maison Louis Marie blends heritage with modern sensibility. Together, they are deeply committed to clean beauty and non-toxic fragrance creation. Each scent is thoughtfully composed to be distinctive and memorable, without the use of toxic or environmentally harmful ingredients. All products are cruelty-free, vegan, and crafted with integrity honoring both the past and the planet.

In this episode, Marie also discusses:

• Drawing on her fashion and design background, setting out to make luxury scents, originally candles, more accessible 
• Their viral sensation–No.4 Bois de Balincourt, my personal favorite
• Why their fragrances use a thoughtful balance of both natural essential oils and safe, carefully chosen synthetics
• Why “clean” means creating scents that are both safe and sustainable, without unnecessary irritants, and with complete transparency about what goes into them
• The importance of sustainability and their recycling program
• Their strong retail partnerships and their own retail store in Los Angeles
