ERIC BUTERBAUGH LOS ANGELES www.ericbuterbaugh.com The story of Eric Buterbaugh Los Angeles begins with a boy in Oklahoma: a boy, Eric Buterbaugh, who loved nice-smelling things and collected scores of perfume bottles – with a particular penchant for French labels. That passion for fragrance inhabits him still. A career in fashion led Buterbaugh to Dallas, Los Angeles and to London, where he ran Gianni Versace’s flagship store. A man with a singular gift for friendship, Eric Buterbaugh was soon socializing not only with the designer, but also with a glamorous coterie of celebrity clients, supermodels and society folk. In 1998 he returned to LA and reinvented himself as a floral designer. Propelled by his talent, taste and a legendary Rolodex, he soon made his reputation as florist to the stars. His exuberant creations graced the homes and parties of Hollywood’s boldest-faced names, earning him international renown. Regally styled “the king of roses” for his lavish use of them in his designs, Eric’s ambitions nevertheless extended beyond floral arrangements: “In the back of my mind,” he says, “I always knew I could get famous for that, and if I got famous enough, I could launch a perfume.” Impressed by BUTERBAUGH’S CREATIVITY and SOPHISTICATION, PUIG ACQUIRED A STAKE IN ERIC BUTERBAUGH LOS ANGELES IN 2016. Today the Eric Buterbaugh Los Angeles line offers 17 exquisite creations, including Orange Flower Oud and Gardenia Oud. The label remains in very limited distribution: at flagship on Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles, at Saks stores in the U.S. and at Le Bon Marché in Paris. Impressed by Buterbaugh’s creativity and sophistication, Puig acquired a stake in Eric Buterbaugh Los Angeles in 2016.
