H I S T O R Y 1949 WHILE AVEDON ,

ET TU WAS FOUNDED BY MARCEL RIMBAUD IN LIVING IN THE SMALL PROVINCIAL TOWN OF

FRANCE . A RETIRED CHEMIST , RIMBAUD BEGAN CREATING FRAGRANCES IN HIS SPARE TIME AND SELLING THEM IN THE TOWN PHARMACY . WHILE SEARCHING FOR A NAME FOR THE FRAGRANCES , HE REMEMBERED BACK TO HIS FAVORITE LINE IN THE SHAKESPEAR PLAY JULIUS CESAR ,

“ ET

TU , BRUTE ?”

RIMBAUD THOUGHT OF ET TU AS ITS LITERAL TRANSLATION ,

YOU TOO , AND TOOK IT OUT OF CONTEXT TO MEAN THAT ALL OF HIS FRAGRANCES ARE

FOR YOU TOO, REGARDLESS OF

WHO YOU ARE . SOON WORD OF ET TU SPREAD TO PARIS WHERE THE FRAGRANCES QUICKLY BECAME SOUGHT AFTER . IN HIS LATER YEARS , RIMBAUD WAS KNOWN TO BOAST THAT EVEN COCO CHANEL WAS OBSESSED WITH ET TU . WITH THE GREAT DEMAND FOR ET TU , RIMBAUD MOVED FROM AVEDON TO PARIS AND BEGAN EXPANDING HIS BUSINESS INTO THE COUTURE BRAND THAT IT IS TODAY . WHILE LIVING IN PARIS , MARCEL RIMBAUD WAS EXPOSED TO MANY AVANT - GARDE MOVEMENTS THAT INFLUENCED THE HIS UNIQUE TAKE ON THE WAY PERFUME SHOULD BE PACKAGED .
