Mother's Day

     

The journey to discover the history of Beautimport has reached its final stage

After traveling back in time to the late 1800s and witnessing, in 1932, the birth of a new company—Bourjois S.A.—the “heir” to the original DUGSON, a new and lengthy chapter now brings us to the present day.
Dedicated to the production of the brands in the Bourjois portfolio (Bourjois, Chanel, and Barbara Gould), Bourjois S.A., led by Alessandro Giorgi alongside his sons Arturo and Alberto and his son-in-law Gildo Catelli, soon becomes Profumerie di Lusso, continuing its successful journey for many years.

However, in 1974, everything changes: Beautimport is born, and a new adventure begins

The French parent company moves production back to France but entrusts the distribution of its brands to Piersandro Catelli, Gildo’s son. The goal is to relaunch and reorganize distribution throughout Italy and ensure Chanel attains the right positioning among the most prestigious brands. Despite the challenging years on the horizon for Italy, Beautimport remains committed. In fact, during the darkest period, the company builds its national sales network and begins importing luxury fragrances and cosmetics from France. Thanks to its growing experience, Beautimport takes on a leading role and, in 1990, begins a new chapter in its history, becoming the distributor of some of the most prestigious brands such as Rochas, Patou, Lacoste, Tiffany, and Glycel.

In 1996, it reaches a new milestone: the international license for the Italian brand Terme di Saturnia, which earns unanimous praise abroad, including in North America, Japan, Russia, and the Middle East. This bold challenge does not remain the only one for long.

With Nicola Catelli—son of Piersandro and current owner and CEO—at the helm, Beautimport achieves what once seemed impossible: uniting East and West in the name of beauty

In 2012, it secures the exclusive distribution rights in Italy for Decorté, a prestigious Japanese cosmetics brand produced by Kosé Corporation. Experience, technical and commercial expertise, and reliability convinced the Japanese company that Beautimport was the ideal partner.

Alongside Decorté, the Bologna-based company proudly features a jewel of perfumery: the historic French Maison Lubin Paris. The years go by, and today Beautimport—celebrating its 50th anniversary last year—is a leading force in the beauty industry. It keeps pace with the times while honoring its heritage, with professionalism, product and service quality, and a vision that combines innovation and ethics as its guiding principles.

A fragrance that captures every facet of a Special Woman: Mom

Among all celebrations, Mother’s Day holds a unique place in our hearts—it’s the moment to honor the woman who means the world to us. While chocolates and flowers are always thoughtful, a fragrance makes the gesture truly unforgettable.

With every spritz, a perfume can relive the magic of the day, express what words often cannot, and reflect the many beautiful sides of her personality

Grisette by Lubin Paris: an olfactory tribute to sparkling femininity

Cheerful, curious, tireless, and joyful, yet also romantic and dreamy, caring and strong.
She is all this and so much more—a perfect blend of positive energy, sweetness, and charisma, just like Grisette by Lubin, an olfactory tribute to sparkling femininity, romantic dreams, and the joie de vivre.

"Grisettes"—as the name suggests—were skilled seamstresses in fashion ateliers who dressed in simple grey cloth garments but, with the light-heartedness and freshness of youth, dove headfirst into the vibrant world of Parisian bohemia.

A bouquet scented with Love, Charm, and Freedom

The fragrance opens with a lively and zesty burst of grapefruit and bergamot, enhanced by a rosy alcoholic extract, obtained by macerating rose concrete to preserve the most volatile notes, evoking the sensation of fresh rosebuds.

At its heart lies a captivating blend of Moroccan and Bulgarian roses, softened by the powdery scent of iris concrete and a touch of incense.
The dry-down is intense and enveloping, lingering on the skin with warm notes of musk, cedarwood, amber, and Madagascan vanilla absolute.

Grisette is not just a fragrance—it is an olfactory poem, whose unmatched harmony remains in the heart of anyone who wears it.

Maison Lubin looks to the future

Since 1798, the year it was founded, Maison Lubin has written the history of perfumery. By the end of the 1960s, it enjoyed international fame and success. However, the decision by Paul and André Prot, the fourth generation of the family, to sell it to a large industrial group marked a difficult period for the brand, despite the efforts of courageous managers to restore its former glory.

In 2004, however, the unthinkable happened. Gilles Thévenin, former Creative Director of Guerlain, aware of the Maison’s centuries-old heritage, expertise, and tradition, decided to take its future into his own hands and restore it to the pinnacle of perfumery. To do so, he enlisted the help of Paul Prot's two sons, who rejoined the business to revive the unique olfactory style that had always defined Lubin.

From being a large international company at the beginning of the 20th century, Lubin was reborn as a more exclusive entity, becoming a luxurious and sought-after Maison that embodies the ideals of its founder.

Today, it is the second oldest independent French fragrance house still in operation, and its fragrances, reinterpreted by some of the world’s most famous perfumers while respecting the original spirit, captivate both men and women around the world. And they will continue to do so for many generations to come.
