Pierre François Lubin established his perfume house in Paris in 1798. Lubin became world-renowned due to the patronage of, among others, the Empress Josephine Boneparte and the crowned heads of Europe. He began to sell his perfumes in the United States in 1830. His most famous creation was “Eau Vivifante,” which was later renamed “Eau de Lubin.” This bottle was found in the backyard of 45 Minna Street.
