About ESSENTIAL PARFUMS
At Essential Parfums, we grew from a simple approach: giving perfumers carte blanche to create, with no constraints or limits. We partner with the best master and senior perfumers in the world, carefully sourcing the finest sustainable ingredients whenever possible, to be transformed into olfactory masterpieces. The result is a place to buy uniquely luxurious scents at an accessible price — all wrapped in eco-friendly packaging. We created this brand to share a true passion for the art of scent — therefore, our priority will always be the fragrance itself, rather than the trappings that surround it (like fancy bottles, advertising costs, and licensing fees that tend to muddle the essence of perfumery). As for the ingredients themselves, the costliness and complexity of working with naturals makes them a far rarer find in the fragrance world, but we know that they are well worth the effort to produce perfumes that do justice to each note within. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, which is why we focus on a precious handful of natural ingredients over a cacophony of synthetics.
A signature scent should speak for itself.
Quentin Bisch’s energy makes the air around him electric as he talks about scents. This all-encompassing passion is what brought a music student and an artistic director of a performing company to perfumery. A one-month internship in Grasse was all it took to find his true vocation and then devote the next several years to studying fragrance composition.
The arts continue to inspire Quentin. He creates perfumes in the same way he might direct a theatre performance using strong ideas, careful embellishments and surprising effects.
He has been honored best perfumer in 2020. He signed fragrances for Jean Paul Gaultier, Paco Rabanne, Saint Laurent, Azzaro, Mugler, Chloé, Ex Nihilo, Etat Libre d’Orange.
