Sous Le Manteau Paris is a luxury boutique American/French fragrance brand. Manufactured in France, with headquarters in New York, the company has been producing eau de parfum since 2016.  The name, Sous Le Manteau, comes from the 17th century French expression that refers to unauthorized books or artifacts sold "under the cloak", because of their erotic or controversial relevance. Through the research of historic text and recipes, the company revisits authentic aphrodisiac love potions from earlier centuries.[1][2]

History edit
