46 Parfums is not an ordinary maison. It is a philosophy, a tribute to the beauty of emotions and the power of the bond between being and perfume. Here, every encounter is an intimate exploration, a quest for meaning guided by rare expertise and unconditional love for exceptional olfactory creations. We believe that true luxury lies in the meeting of humanity with the exceptional.
A Passion, An Expertise
Our founder, a knowledgeable collector and enthusiast of olfactory emotions, envisioned a unique experience where perfume becomes an extension of oneself. Inspired by memories, landscapes, and a personal quest for authenticity, this singular approach prioritises introspection before selection. It is rooted in a long professional journey focused on guiding and transforming individuals.
The Legacy of an Art
At 46 Parfums, we celebrate rare, often lesser-known perfumes reserved for select circles. These olfactory masterpieces, objects and makers of desire, born from the genius of master perfumers, embody a true artistic statement. No marketing, just the strength of a story, a vision, and noble raw materials for an unforgettable trail.
Welcome to a world where perfume is much more than an object: it becomes a silent witness to your most precious moments, an imprint of your essence.
The Genesis of 46 Parfums
46 Parfums is more than a name; it is a genuine ode to luxury and olfactory art. This project finds its roots in the subtle connection between music and perfume, two immaterial arts that touch the soul and give voice to silence. Inspired by the work of Septimus Piesse, a 19th-century English chemist, perfumer, and music lover, the brand explores the idea of a "perfume organ".
‘Il y a pour ainsi dire, une octave d’odeurs comme une octave en musique ; certaines odeurs coïncident, comme les touches d’un instrument.’
46 Parfums also tells the story of a childhood passion for scents, awakened by the wild landscapes and captivating nature of the volcanic regions of Auvergne and the Camargue. These authentic territories, rich in raw aromas, shaped a unique sensitivity to the art of exceptional perfumery. A pivotal moment was at 19 years old the encounter with "KL Homme" by Karl Lagerfeld. This emotional legacy solidified the quest for rare and almost carnal relationships with unique fragrances.
46 Parfums offers a unique olfactory experience and introspective journey. By providing a rare space for self-reflection, each person discovers a bespoke perfume reflecting their true essence. The maison celebrates authentic luxury and humanity, believing that at the heart of exceptional perfume lies the idea that the most beautiful things are often hidden.
