The House
We compose signatures to wear.
“For me, composing a perfume means translating a personality, an emotion, a memory into an olfactory signature.”Stéphanie de Bruijn · Perfumer
Here, everything begins with a table, rare raw materials, the morning light and the time it takes.
Every perfume of the house is born in the same place: in our boudoir in Paris, where nothing is industrialised, where each formula is composed, smelled, reworked, sometimes abandoned for months, until it says exactly what it must say.
I do not work from a marketing brief. I work from a memory, from a raw material that obsesses me, from a sentence that will not leave me.
The perfume comes afterwards: it is the written trace of something that happened before it.
That is why every fragrance of the house bears a name and a face, rather than a trend. We do not create products to launch. We compose signatures to wear.
The gesture
I am often asked how long a perfume takes. I always give the same answer: as long as it takes to no longer be able to touch it.
A fragrance of the house is a text one ceases, one day, to want to correct, until then it keeps being reworked: a material replaced, a dose shifted by a tenth, a base note erased entirely because it kept all the others from breathing.
That gesture cannot be delegated. Every formula that bears my name has been composed by me, smelled by me, signed by me.
Some are rare. Others are simple, almost ordinary, but used in a way one does not expect. What interests me is the truth of the accord. An iris that truly smells of the cold powder of a winter morning. A leather that smells of skin. Everything is chosen to be exact.
The signature
A perfume of the house always bears a signature: mine, on every bottle.
It is a true commitment. As an author answers for every line they publish, I answer for every perfume I sign.
Behind every perfume, there is a person, a name, a vision: on the door as on the bottle.
Conceived in Paris and crafted in Grasse, in small batches.
Each fragrance is produced in limited quantities, so that the quality of composition is never compromised by volume.
It is also for this reason that the house works with a small number of partners, boutiques and houses that share the same standards, and to whom it offers direct, personal support, with no intermediary.
