Who are We?

SCENTISSIME was born out of a passion for niche fragrances and a desire to share that passion.

Its founder wanted to create a place where connoisseurs and newcomers could easily find exclusive, rare fragrances of exceptional quality.

We select these fragrances carefully, focusing on their quality and originality, as well as on the vision of their creators. 

We are proud to bring those wonderful fragrances to you and to imagine that they will soon be part of your olfactory identity. Your invisible double.

Our Creed

At SCENTISSIME, we believe that perfumery is an art form. A refined and precious art, but one that everyone can appreciate.

For this reason, we want everyone to have access to the olfactory creations of the most beautiful Houses, and for no one to have to give up wearing a perfume because a boutique is too far away or for fear of having made the wrong choice by ordering online.

That's why we allow some of the world's finest niche fragrances to your door, guaranteed to be authentic, with complimentary delivery and the option of returning the fragrances if they don't suit you.

The Story

A perfume professional for many years, Hervé Mathieu is passionate about niche perfumes. This passion led him to found SCENTISSIME, a unique online boutique where one can find rare fragrances to suit their taste, personality and mood of the moment.

Hervé Mathieu recounts how he discovered his passion for fragrances as a teenager, when he found a sample of GEOFFREY BEENE's Grey Flannel in a magazine.

After graduating, he joined CHANEL as international head of women's fragrances. He was lucky enough to be trained in olfaction and to work with Jacques Polge and François Demachy during the creation of Allure, for which he was responsible. He took advantage of this exceptional opportunity to learn all he could about ingredients, formulation techniques and extraction methods. After two years as head of the JEAN-PAUL GAULTIER fragrance brand and head of marketing of jeweler MAUBOUSSIN, he became an independant international consultant for a number of niche fragrance brands around the world.

Although not a perfumer himself, Hervé Mathieu has a fascination for beautiful ingredients. But above all, the founder of SCENTISSIME is a fragrance enthusiast. He's constantly on the lookout for the world's best niche fragrances, not with snobbery but with an ever-renewed curiosity and enthusiasm. He loves unearthing confidential brands, discovering daring compositions and spotting emerging perfumers. He has an unfailing flair for unearthing the olfactory nuggets that will delight SCENTISSIME customers.
