Classic Match® Cologne, Fragrance has been creating captivating fragrances since our founding in 1920. For over a century, we’ve combined artistry and craftsmanship to produce distinctive scents that evoke cherished memories and powerful emotions. Our colognes and perfumes are designed to complement your unique style, inspire confidence, and leave a lasting impression.
At Classic Match®, perfume is more than a fragrance – it’s an experience. Our master perfumers use only the finest rare essential oils and all-natural ingredients to compose complex aromas that tell a story. We source our ingredients ethically and sustainably to protect the communities and environments they come from.
Every Classic Match® fragrance undergoes a meticulous creative process from inception to bottling. Our perfumers experiment with hundreds of extracts, infusions, and accords before arriving at the perfect balance and blend. It can take months, sometimes years, to get a formula just right. We reject anything less than extraordinary. Once complete, every batch is carefully crafted by hand in our French perfume house using time-honored traditions and modern innovations.
Artistry Meets Craftsmanship
What truly sets Classic Match® apart is the artistry we blend with master craftsmanship. Our perfumers are artists driven by passion and creative vision. They have trained for decades to cultivate their olfactory talents and excel at their craft. Their creations are informed by trends, culture, and the inspirations all around them.
Behind the scenes, our production teams carry out each formula with meticulous precision and care. We use specialized distillation techniques to extract essences and resins while preserving top notes. Our glassblowers craft each bottle by hand using techniques passed down through generations. Every finished fragrance is then aged for weeks or months to allow the perfume to ripen and harmonize.
This synergy between creativity and expertise is the essence of Classic Match®. It’s what makes our scents truly transcendent.
For the Love of Fragrance
Perfume has been cherished for centuries as a tool for self-expression, an intimate part of one’s identity. At Classic Match®, our passion is to help you express your own unique self through fragrance. To move you, inspire you, and delight your senses. We pour our hearts into creating scents that will become part of the special moments in your life.
That drive has fueled us since the beginning. Classic Match® was founded in 1920 by Master Perfumer Jacques Morel and entrepreneur Michelle Dupont. Jacques was a prodigy who pioneered new extraction techniques and accord structures. Michelle had a vision to make luxurious French perfume accessible to people across Europe. Together, they opened our first perfume house in Grasse, France – the perfume capital of the world.
Classic Match® quickly earned acclaim for our innovation and quality. We introduced vibrant new scent families and elevated traditional perfumery with bolder, long-lasting fragrances. Our reputation for excellence continued to grow throughout the classic Hollywood era, the rise of international travel, and the glamorous golden age of the 1950s. Classic Match® fragrances became associated with luxury, sophistication and the innate human desire to feel beautiful.
That desire inspires us every day to create something exceptional. To honor the tradition of our founders while looking to the future. We carry their passion forward through a dedication to imagination, refinement and uncompromising standards.
