Friends Desmond Knox-Leet, Christian Gatro and Yves Kuslan in 1961 decided to open a small shop selling fabrics and items for decoration. The started business began to bring a good income, and the friends decided to slightly expand their business by producing candles with original aromas. By the way, then automatized candles were very popular.

The Trinity developed an exclusive perfume, the elements of which many famous perfumers tried to find. This is how the world-famous fragrance with the unpretentious name L'Eau appeared. The composition of this fragrance includes cinnamon, rose, sandalwood, geranium and clove notes.
