Founded in Damascus in 1955 by Michel and Widad Chalhoub, Chalhoub Group began with a single Christofle boutique and has since grown into one of the region’s largest luxury retailers, operating in more than 10 countries. In 2025, the group expanded its Saudi Arabian presence through a partnership with the Special Integrated Logistics Zone Company to launch a new distribution hub in Riyadh. In 2026, Chalhoub Group became a co-investor in British niche fragrance house Perfumer H, founded by Lyn Harris.
