Eau de Parfum Burning for Oud

The fragrances are vegan and cruelty-free, formulated without parabens, phthalates, or silicones and with a high proportion of natural-origin ingredients; packaging is recyclable glass and FSC cardboard.

L’Atelier Parfum, founded in Paris in 2020 by Masha Russac and Mikolaj Pietrzak, wants to take fine perfumery off its pedestal. The scents are made in Grasse at the long-established house Robertet, but they’re sorted not by gender or occasion but by feeling — the Paris boutique calls itself a “gallery of olfactory emotions.” The collections are simply called “Opus,” the scents carry names like Green Crush, Salty Wood, and Tobacco Volute. High quality, a clear stance, a fair price. Haute perfumery without the kid gloves.
