Henri Robert was a French perfumer and chemist born in 1899 in Grasse, trained by his father Joseph Robert, chief perfumer at Chiris, where Henri began working in 1919 alongside Vincent Roubert, Ernest Beaux, and Henri Alméras.
At Parfums d'Orsay he created Le Dandy in 1923, and after François Coty's death in 1934 he became Chief Perfumer at Coty, creating Muguet de Bois in tribute to Coty's favorite flower. In 1952 he succeeded Ernest Beaux as Chief Perfumer at Chanel, where he created Pour Monsieur, No. 19, and Cristalle. He was the uncle of perfumer Guy Robert and great-uncle of François Robert, and died in 1987.
