Monumentet ligger i nærheden af Jardí de les Plantes og foran den gamle Chiris-parfumefabrik.
Indviet i 1914 , tegnet af arkitekterne Léon Le Bel og James Warnery, med en bronzebuste af Léon Chiris øverst.
Under busten er en marmorskulpturgruppe : en ældre kvinde i traditionel provencalsk dragt peger på busten og peger på en ung kvinde (eller måske hendes barnebarn), der bærer en buket blomster. Blomsterne symboliserer sandsynligvis blomsternes rolle i parfumeri.
François Antoine Léon Chiris (1839-1900), parfumemager og lokalpolitiker: først borgmester, derefter stedfortræder og endelig senator for Alpes-Maritimes-regionen.
Under hans ledelse udviklede Maison Chiris sig til en verdensleder inden for parfumeri ; blandt andet byggede han et destilleri i maurisk stil ("la Mosque") i Grasse og en filial i Algeriet.
