Shawn Maher - Maher Olfactive & Chatillon Lux
Shawn: The Mother of Saint Louis, Marie-Thérèse Bourgeois Chouteau overcame monumental adversity to become the co-founder of the Gateway to the West in tandem with her partner, Pierre Laclède Liguest. She left behind both a self-made fortune and a legacy of rising above the seemingly insurmountable barriers to find success. Her namesake fragrance is as meticulously composed as one would expect from a tribute to the most inspirational figure in the history of a city that is rich with them.
It is a shimmering, rich fragrance with unforgettable beauty, and as it evolves a strong, velvety backbone emerges. This is a perfume worthy of the indefatigable legacy of Madame Chouteau.
Dave: Shawn's tribute to the “Mother of St. Louis,” “Madame Chouteau” is a rich parfum full of character and complexity. Ripe stone-fruit, jonquil and honeyed tobacco on a beautiful base of leathery moss and silky Mysore sandalwood.
Madame Chouteau Notes: Apricot, elemi, jasmine absolute, jonquil absolute, red champaca absolute, davana, mousse de St. Louis (Shawn's version of Mousse de Saxe), yerba mate absolute, sandalwood and Thai oud.

“Although Madame Chouteau came to dominate St. Louis so strongly that in her lifetime she was called “The Queen,” she lived a pious, genteel, respectable life and avoided public attention. At the same time, she was also astute, decisive, and sometimes stubborn. Head of an ever-widening family circle, she had the keen sense to use well the domestic and administrative power that she possessed.”
- St. Louis historian Charles Van Ravensway
