Description
The Essential Parfums Discovery Set is the cheapest honest way into one of Paris's most quietly respected houses. Twelve 2 ml sprays, one for every eau de parfum in the range, so you can live with each on skin for a few days rather than judging it from a note list.
What's inside
Twelve 2 ml travel sprays, and the reason this house is worth your attention is on the label of every one of them — Essential Parfums names the perfumer on the bottle, which almost nobody at this price does: Nice Bergamote by Antoine Maisondieu, Rose Magnetic by Sophie Labbé, Mon Vétiver by Bruno Jovanovic, Orange x Santal by Natalie Gracia-Cetto, Divine Vanille by Olivier Pescheux, The Musc by Calice Becker, Bois Impérial by Quentin Bisch, Fig Infusion by Nathalie Lorson, Patchouli Mania by Fabrice Pellegrin, Néroli Botanica by Anne Flipo, Velvet Iris by Dominique Ropion and Ambre Latte.
About the house
Essential Parfums was built on a simple argument: pay for the juice and the nose, not the bottle or the advertising. Every fragrance is composed by a named master perfumer, the formulas lean on a small number of good materials rather than a long list, and the bottles are refillable. The result is niche-quality composition at a price most niche houses have left behind.
Who it suits
Anyone starting a niche collection, and anyone who wants to try a Calice Becker or a Dominique Ropion composition without spending $150 to find out. Once you have a favourite, the full bottles are on our Essential Parfums collection page. Prefer to smell before you buy? They are all open at our scent bar in Somerville, New Jersey.
