Jacques Bogart S.A. was founded in 1975 in France by Jacques Konckier, a menswear designer working under the name Jacques Bogart.

In 1982 the company opened a subsidiary in the U.S. called Fragrance du Monde, and in 1983 it acquired the rights to Ted Lapidus from LOreal. Konckier scrapped and completely rebuilt the Ladipus brand, forming Creation de Ted Ladipus for women.

In 1986 the company acquired the rights to another well-known brand name, Balenciaga, and began releasing fragrances under this name as well.
