“I imagined this perfume as a vibrant homage to the aristocratic beauty of Calabrian bergamot, enhancing it with a few rose and jasmine petals and precious woods softened with tonka bean.”

Born in Grasse, Antoine Maisondieu comes from a family of artists and raw materials sellers. His love for perfumery was born after studying law and art history. “There is so much to love, to learn: creativity, poetry, elegance…” confides Antoine.
To create his perfumes, he uses both his instinct and his reason, a subtle balance that is almost alchemy.
Antoine deserves recognition for his successful compositions for Burberry, Armani, Gucci, Montblanc, Valentino and Acquadi Parma.

With over 25 years of experience in the perfume industry, Essential Parfums was founded with a rebellious spirit and a mission to restore the essence of fine perfumery. At Essential Parfums, the idea is simple: give perfumers carte blanche to create, without any constraints or limits.

The brand aims to be simple and transparent: sharing the true passion for the art of perfume, without artifice and at an affordable price.

The brand believes that high-end perfumery at an affordable price is not only possible but also the best way forward. By cutting out middlemen and traditional advertising methods, Essential Parfums is able to circumvent costs that undermine the quality of its fragrances.
