Founded in 2018 by Géraldine Archambault, Essential Parfums arose as a response to an industry weighed down by marketing flash, over-packaging and opaque sourcing. Driven by a simple principle — perfume first — every fragrance reflects a perfumer’s signature vision free from constraints, uses premium and sustainably harvested materials, and is housed in minimal yet elegant presentation.

From beet-alcohol bases to FSC-certified cartons, the brand marries minimalist luxury with ethical rigour. Each bottle carries the name of its creator, celebrating the artisan rather than the celebrity, giving fragrance lovers access to high-craft compositions without the inflated price tag. In short: integrity, transparency, and perfumery made essential.
