Essential Parfums
Boasting over 25 years of perfume-making experience, Essential Parfums was founded with a rebellious spirit and the self-proclaimed mission to restore the essence of haute parfumerie. Their idea was simple: give perfumers carte blanche to create, impose no constraints, no limits. To set things in motion, Essential Parfums brought on board an elite group of master perfumers and senior perfumers, taking care to select, whenever possible, the finest sustainable ingredients to be transformed into olfactory masterpieces.
Perfumers are too often relegated to the wings while the brands, spokespeople and designers take center stage. The goal of Essential Parfums was therefore to shine the spotlight on the real artists —the stars! — behind their perfume creations. And, like any other artist, these stars sign their works, each bottle of fragrance. The results speak for themselves: exceptional perfumes at affordable prices and presented in eco-friendly packaging.
To share its passion for the art of perfume-making, Essential Parfums focuses now and forever on the fragrance itself, not all the trappings. Acutely aware of the environmental impact of its perfumes, Essential Parfums promotes sustainable development at every step of every creation. Our cardboard packaging is FSC-certified, ensuring forests are managed to strict environmental standards, socially responsible and economically viable. Our glass comes from a supplier committed to a sustainable development policy promoting energy sobriety, namely by replacing carbon-emitting gas furnaces with electric ones.
As for the perfumers, they focus on natural and sustainable raw materials which not only create compelling fragrances, but also benefit communities of local producers and ecosystems alike. Essential Parfums fragrances are made using vegetal alcohol, distilled from beets, and no colorings are added. Our perfumes are between 86% and 93% natural.
The fragrances are complex and demand exacting efforts throughout the design and construction phases, similar to work on a painting or sculpture. It is only natural that they be displayed as artwork. Perfume-making, as an art form, is showcased in the VELUX ART Gallery. Beyond its creative aspect, perfume also plays an essential role in French art de vivre. The display of this collection of 8 perfumes provides an olfactory experience which develops our senses and the link between fragrances and emotions within the home. A way to promote well-being, in every sense of the word.
