La Casa · Est. 1962
Our Story
Last updated June 2026
Miss Marion began in Havana in 1962 — a small perfumery built around one scent above all others: agua de violetas, the powdery violet water Cuban families splashed on after the bath, on babies, on Sundays. It was tradition in a bottle.
From Havana to Miami
When the family left Cuba, the formulas came too — written by hand, carried across the water, and made again in Miami. The violet stayed exactly as it was. What changed was the city around it: the same scent, now poured for a new generation finding its feet in Florida.
Three generations
More than sixty years on, Miss Marion is still family-run. The recipes have been kept, not reinvented — blended in small batches, the way the house has always done it. Grandparents who wore Morada now buy it for grandchildren, and the bottle smells the same in their hands.
The house today
The collection has grown into a full violet-forward family — florals, fresh and citrus colognes, deep woods and orientals — alongside Habanero, the gentleman's grooming line of aftershave and brillantina líquida kept the way the Havana barbers did. Different scents, one house, one unbroken thread back to 1962.
