About Parfums 06130
Growing up in Grasse, the heart of French perfumery, Nicolas-Gabriel Chabert—the founder of Parfums Zéro Six Cent-Trente (Parfums 06130)—was surrounded by fragrance legends. From a young age, he evaluated his family’s creations, learning to appreciate the nuances of fine perfume. His uncle, Jacques Chabert, crafted icons such as Samsara for Jean-Paul Guerlain and Cristalle for Chanel, while his father, Claude Chabert, created a wide array of exquisite fragrances, including L’Eau des Incroyables, a French Revolution commemorative scent for L’Artisan Parfumeur.
At 15, Nicolas took his first summer job in a historic perfume house, Cavallier Frères—an 18th-century company still operating within the Robertet factory grounds in Grasse. There, he learned to blend formulas under the guidance of master perfumers and observed every stage of creation. He studied raw material extraction techniques—processing vetiver, oakmoss, and iris—gaining reverence for the craft and the region’s natural wealth.
Grasse, 1972, mid-Twentieth Century, and the present day
Nicolas founded Parfums 06130 with an unwavering devotion to quality and artistic expression. His childhood friend, Raphaël Haury, composed the brand’s first fragrances, Cèdre and Yuzu Rouge, as unisex eaux de toilette, setting a refined standard from the outset. Nicolas personally developed the brand’s identity and cultivated relationships with storied retail partners, including Barneys New York, Bergdorf Goodman, Louis Boston, Forty Five Ten, Aedes de Venustas, and Parfumerie Hyazinth in Switzerland.
In 2019, Parfums 06130 unveiled an Eau de Parfum collection composed by Master Perfumer Jacques Chabert and produced in his private factory, Fragrances Essentielles. These scents reflect opulence and nuance, each capturing a moment of stillness, like the golden hush of a Mediterranean twilight.
Now, Nicolas has turned inward, composing Cèdre Mystique—a poetic fragrance entirely of his own creation. From concept to formulation, he has shaped every detail. This evocative scent opens with black tea, lemon, and bergamot; its heart reveals neroli, jasmine, and cedarwood, softened by sandalwood and rare oud samrat. It settles into a rich base of oakmoss, ambergris, white musk, and labdanum, embraced by fir balsam, vanilla bean, and olibanum incense. Cèdre Mystique is a timeless expression of grace, rooted in ancestral tradition yet resonant with modern elegance.
In spring 2025, Parfums 06130 will unveil a luxurious line of handmade, organic perfumed soaps, alongside a highly anticipated, confidential collection to be revealed upon release.
Join us on a journey of olfactory revelation—where craft and poetry intertwine, and each scent becomes a window into the soul of Grasse.
