The houses
Houses
Don’t know where to start?
A mood, a memory, a room. One house back.
London · Lyn Harris
Perfumer H
Lyn Harris grew up between Scotland and Yorkshire, trained at Robertet in Grasse, and works from her own lab in London. Perfumer H is the whole landscape: eaux de parfum named for what they smell like, then the same names as lotion, soap, candle, incense, tea, even marmalade. Bottles by Michael Ruh, made to be refilled.

Amsterdam · Alessandro Gualtieri
Nasomatto
Nasomatto means crazy nose. Alessandro Gualtieri left the big houses because they kept saying no. Every extrait on the official table is here — Black Afgano, Blamage, Pardon, Baraonda, Duro, Fantomas, Nudiflorum, Sadonaso, Silver Musk, Absinth, Narcotic V., Micodelirio — plus the oil set. No pyramid. No garden story. Just the bottle.

Puglia · Alessandro Gualtieri
Orto Parisi
Alessandro Gualtieri opened Orto Parisi in 2014 and dedicated it to his grandfather Vincenzo Parisi. Vincenzo worked a garden in Puglia. He collected what the body left behind in buckets, and that is what fertilised the soil. Gualtieri has said an air of infinity always hung over that garden. The house treats the body the same way: skin as soil, smell as a record of the soul.

Paris · Robert Bienaimé
Bienaimé 1935
Robert Bienaimé was a chemist who became a perfumer and opened his own house in 1935. It returned in 2021 — same name, same French technique. Six juices (Vesprée, Monsieur, Fleurs d'Été, Jours Heureux, La Vie En Fleurs, Vermeil), then the same names as cream, soap, wash and candle. Bottles made to be refilled.

Paris · David Frossard
Obvious
David Frossard studied philosophy, then perfume. He founded Obvious because exclusive had become a joke. The clear line is here: Une Pistache, Un Musc, Une Figue, Un Bois, Un Oud, Une Rose, Une Vanille, plus Milk & Matcha, Scoville, Kakigori, Dulce de Leche, Floridita's Night, Frida's Thorns — and the same names as wash.
