The Artisan Fragrance Salon

Paris

The Countess of Vivid Rose perfects the art of her petals, blooming full and radiant. A great seductress, she knows how to command attention, cultivate desire, and always arrives late, just to make herself worth waiting for. She is part of our Salon of Ingredients, inspired by the seventeenth-century salons hosted by Madeleine de Scudéry, creator of the Carte de Tendre La Comtesse de Rose-Vive perfectionne l’art de ses pétales, épanouis et radieux. Grande séductrice, elle sait se faire remarquer, cultive le désir et arrive toujours en re**rd pour mieux se faire attendre. Elle fait partie de notre Salon des ingrédients, inspiré des salons du XVIIᵉ siècle, animés par Madeleine de Scudéry, qui créa la Carte de Tendre. ⁠ ⁠ Art Direction, Direction & Screenplay — Elium ( @elium___ ) ⁠ Actress — Julie Cléry (@julie.clery)⁠ Director of Photography — Charles de Montalembert (@charles_de_montalembert, @firgunrecordings)⁠ Editing — Charles de Montalembert (@charles_de_montalembert, @firgunrecordings)⁠ Prop Design — Charlotte Taylor (@charjotay) & Elium (@elium___ )⁠ Costume Design — Louise Hoving (@louisehoving)⁠ Makeup and Hair — Lilja Dís Smara (@liljadissmara)⁠ Sound Operator — Cédric Leffray (@cedricleffray)⁠ Production Manager — Charlotte Taylor (@charjotay)⁠ Special Thanks to the talented actors and Laurent Montalembert from @fonact_international⁠ ⁠ #MemoParis #SalonDesIngredients #NicheFragrance

Praise the stars, and everything that we can sense by scent below. Praise the rain, and skin and decay. Mystery and science. Praise narcissus, clove, brimstone, to***co and oakmoss. We can’t explain how amazing this book is. Advances of Saskia Wilson-Brown’s ‘The Cultures of Perfume: Scents that Shaped History’ arrived today. Literally every page is fascinating. But also: the design. The paper, the ribbon. The colors. The image selection. The index. For perfume people, this book is essential. ⁠ Coming soon from D.A.P.

Congratulations

Y O S H Sebastian Jara ScentFest SF

Looking back at our inaugural ScentFest SF still brings a smile to my face. Seeing so many people discovering new fragrances, meeting the founders behind the brands, reconnecting with friends, and sharing a passion for niche perfumery is exactly what we hoped this event would become. What started as an idea became an unforgettable weekend thanks to every exhibitor, sponsor, speaker, volunteer, and every single attendee who walked through our doors. Thank you for believing in ScentFest SF from day one. This was only the beginning. See you at ScentFest SF 2027. #ScentFestSF #NicheFragrance #PerfumeCommunity #FragranceCommunity #Perfume

Sarah Horowitz Parfums event on Rodeo Drive

Come for the fragrance, stay for the connection. 🤍⁠ ⁠ This Regal Event was full of learning, smelling, discovering, and laughing. For this event, our perfumers crafted four unique fragrances — so guests got to smell, compare, and choose the one that felt most like them (and take it home!).⁠ ⁠ For more information about our blending bars, email [email protected]⁠ ⁠ #sarahhorowitzparfums #customfragrance #blendingbar #summerfragrance #eventexperience⁠

Feeling incredibly grateful to receive this award after returning home from FragCon in Houston. I truly didn’t expect to win anything, which makes this recognition even more meaningful. I’m deeply humbled and honored to have my work celebrated alongside so many amazing brands and talented perfumers at the The Artisan Fragrance Salon Awards, held annually in San Francisco.

One of the most special parts of FragCon was seeing how strongly people connected with the Zodiac Collection. I currently have only two fragrances in the collection: Scorpio and Sagittarius — and the love they received has inspired me even more. I’m so excited to continue building this collection and create the next one soon.
Thank you so much for this award. It means more to me than words can fully express.

We will be sharing a recap on Fragcon as well.

Vogue on By Kilian

When you think of @KilianParis, you think of Angels’ Share. Its olfactive parallels to cognac, the scent's lead ingredient, are undeniable and founder @KilianHennessy calls it his most personal fragrance creation. As the grandson of the founder of the Hennessy cognac dynasty, Hennessy has known fine liquor his entire life. Now, Kilian Paris is figuring out how to use its bestseller to drive more business with a new trio of fragrances called The Cocktails. Find out more through the link in our bio.
