The Brand
The Unika collection is the world in which perfumer Véronique Stambouli gives free rein to her imagination. Her inspirations are diverse: the original combination of ingredients, the recreation of intimate memories, or her journeys around the world.
Unika is above all a collection of original fragrances based on surprising combinations of raw materials. The packaging for these fragrances is sober, uncluttered, and non-gendered. When the product is opened, the mantra that has guided the designer's career is finally revealed.
The inscription "Perfume is an emotion" on the reverse side reminds us that perfume and the person who wears it are strongly connected. Each scent can be interpreted freely.
The Story
Véronique Stambouli is an artist and perfume designer inspired by the "limitless" blending of raw materials: with her creations, she creates emotions with passion and gourmandise. She draws her inspiration from cooking, nature, and travel.
As a child, her taste buds quivered with pleasure and her senses captured all the moments of happiness shared with her family. With time, her sense of smell got sharper and, in the perfume shop next door to her parents' house, she was often carried away by a whirlwind of fragrances to the point of collecting dozens of bottles and perfumes "classified by olfactory preference": it was obvious to her that she would learn to compose perfumes.
So she became a freelance perfumer and then decided to create her own perfume collection: UNIKA. Unique, as the name suggests.
The Founder
The creative soul behind UNIKA fragrances is Véronique Stambouli, an independent perfumer based in the heart of the Grasse region. Anchored in Provence, she cultivates the Mediterranean savoir-vivre that drives her lifestyle and her vision of the world. Each fragrance she creates is much more than a simple olfactory composition: it's a genuine artistic expression, a way of transcribing intimate memories, unforgettable journeys and emotions that resonate with each and every one of us. Each fragrance tells a unique story, captivating our senses with unique scents and surprising olfactory associations.
