Essential Parfums

Essential Parfums is an independent Parisian perfume house, founded in 2018 by Géraldine Archambault after three decades in the fragrance industry and run alongside co-founder Stanislas Archambault. Its philosophy places the perfumer, rather than the packaging, at the heart of fine fragrance: each scent is entrusted to a celebrated master perfumer given complete creative freedom, and their name and portrait appear on the bottle. Quentin Bisch, Olivier Pescheux, Calice Becker, Dominique Ropion and Anne Flipo are among the noses who have signed the collection. Every composition favours a high share of natural, responsibly sourced ingredients and comes in a refillable bottle, stripping away needless marketing so the fragrance speaks for itself.
