Caribbean Perfumes

Caribbean Perfumes was founded on the 23rd of April 1979 by Myra Killip. She had come to St Lucia with her husband George. He was on loan from the Cheshire Education Authority in England to work for the Ministry of Overseas Development, establishing a youth employment organization and training course in St Lucia.

Inspiration for St Lucia Perfumes (as Caribbean Perfumes was known in its infancy) came from a visit to the Diamond Estate in Soufriere at the invitation of the owners, Mr. and Mrs. Andre Du Boulay. Walking in the gardens in the late afternoon when the heat of the day was fading, the flowers and plants breathing with relief gave off their sweet fragrances. Mrs. Deveaux explained that they often sent fragrant fronds from a particular tree to Martinique for perfume making. At this point, Myra wondered if perfume might be able to be produced in St Lucia.

Eventually, she partnered with a local gentleman and his cousin, an international potter with very little capital and a very large loan. They created the now well-known restaurant The Green Parrot, which was to be the home of Caribbean Perfumes for the next 24 years.

Myra and George eventually returned to England, and since then, Caribbean Perfumes has changed hands three times. In 2002 Caribbean Perfumes were purchased by Jacques and Cathy Rioux local, the owners of Jacques Waterfront Dining in Vigie, which is where Caribbean Perfumes The Perfumery is now nestled in a beautiful Caribbean chattel house in the restaurant's tropical garden.
