I discovered Detaille during a holiday in Paris in September 2006.
This famous little store was opened in 1905 by the Countess de Presle. Being a high speed driver of a windshield-less car, she suffered from dry skin and decided to discuss the matter with her chemist friend, Marcellin Berthelot. He then created a hydrating lotion called Baume Automobile, the very first product in their high-quality range entitled the Préparations de Beauté. They are still sold in exquisite bottles and still uses extremely elegant packaging.
Next time I return to Paris, I will definitely be visiting Detaille again to purchase more of their beautiful products.
UPDATE: October 2012, I am pleased to discover that Detaille are accepting online orders and payment via credit card.
