In perfumery the real artists usually go unnamed. Essential Parfums flips that: here the nose is on the bottle. The Paris house, founded in 2018 by Géraldine Archambault, has every scent signed by a well-known perfumer — the best-selling Bois Impérial is by Quentin Bisch — and cuts back on everything else: less packaging, fewer middlemen, good fragrance at a fair price. Refillable, largely natural in origin, made in France. Beauty without the markup.
Nachhaltigkeit
