Pernoir

Founded in 2020 by childhood friends Nico Mannino and Robin Dünner, Pernoire is a Basel-based perfume house built on the idea that fragrance is more than scent—it is identity. Growing up together and sharing a deep fascination with olfaction, the founders set out to create a brand that moves beyond traditional perfumery, focusing instead on the emotional and psychological power of scent.

Rather than designing fragrances to simply smell good, Pernoire crafts distinct olfactory personalities, each representing a different mood, state of mind, or version of self. Their philosophy is rooted in the belief that scent can shape how you feel—and even who you become—allowing the wearer to embody different facets of their identity through fragrance.

With high concentrations, bold compositions, and a strong artistic vision, Pernoire positions itself as a house for those who don’t want to blend in—but instead want their fragrance to speak as loudly as their personality.
