Armand-Gustave Houbigant

Armand-Gustave Houbigant was a French painter, illustrator, historian, politician and perfumer.

Armand-Gustave was the son of the famous Parisian perfumer Jean-François Houbigant (1752-1807). He took lessons in the atelier of David's pupil A.C. Caraffe and was a close friend of the archaeologist and collector Aubin-Louis Millin. Ubigan was a prolific painter and illustrator. As a young man, he became famous for his drawings for the card game Women of France (1816).

Later, from 1850 to 1855, Houbigant traveled to the Bas-Pyrenees (today the Atlantic Pyrenees), collected materials for an album about the youth of King Henry IV, and made sketches and engravings.

After his father's death, Armand-Gustave Houbigant continued his family's perfumery business.
