Le Jardin Retrouvé was founded in 1975 by Yuri GUTSATZ, Perfume - Composer, who had spent the greater part of his career working in one of the most prestigious French companies producing aromatic products. It was the very first of what would later become known as “niche” perfume brands. Yuri Gutsatz thereby became the founding father of an entirely new way of creating and selling perfume. At the time, Le Jardin Retrouvé was sold exclusively in “hip” places and garnered an impassioned following. Extraordinary quality and reasonable prices were Yuri’s credo for his creations. Yuri died in 2005,
