Crafted in the Loire Valley by Giffard & Cie, liqueur artisans since 1885, it offers an enchanting blend of perfume-like fragrance, soft sweetness, and warm spice.
Historically associated with celebration and courtship, Parfait Amour translates to “Perfect Love,” and Giffard’s version embodies that sentiment — both nostalgic and modern, it is the perfect bridge between classic French romance and refined mixology.
Founded by Émile Giffard in Angers, France, Giffard & Cie has been producing fine liqueurs for over 135 years, maintaining a reputation for craftsmanship, balance, and authenticity.
Parfait Amour is one of the house’s most distinctive creations, reflecting the art of 19th-century French liqueur-making — when floral infusions and citrus distillates were blended to create aromatic expressions of luxury. Giffard preserves this legacy while delivering modern precision and consistency.
