Our Story & Craftsmanship

Our story

It all begins in the region of Grasse, the world capital of perfume, where Stéphanie de Bruijn grew up surrounded by flowers and essences. It was there that a passion was born: perfume as a language of memory and emotion.

A Parisian by adoption, she founded her House in the heart of the 7th arrondissement, at 52 rue de l'Université. In this boudoir-laboratory she composes — for her collections as well as for her clients — exceptional fragrances, at the crossroads of haute parfumerie and couture craftsmanship.

Our craftsmanship

Stéphanie de Bruijn's art is that of blending: the patient search for harmony, note after note. Every composition is created by hand, from a palette of more than 400 raw materials chosen for their nobility.

Turkish rose, Laotian oud, Comoran ylang-ylang, iris, amber, Bourbon vanilla… rare materials crafted into eaux de parfum and extraits, for trails that last and reveal themselves differently on every skin. Our perfumes are composed and assembled in France, in keeping with an artisanal savoir-faire.

Bespoke

At the pinnacle of this art, the House offers the creation of a bespoke perfume: a fragrance designed for one person and one alone, that resembles no one but you. For, as the perfumer likes to say, the very essence of perfume is to wear on your skin a scent that no one else exhales.
