Stéphanie de Bruijn, perfumer, craftswoman and artist

Paris, the City of Light, home of the arts and a certain elegance. In its narrow streets, fragrances dance, evoking stories of love, mystery and passion. And at the heart of this olfactory magic mingled with history and stories is a designer: Stéphanie de Bruijn.

Why do we love Stéphanie de Bruijn's fragrances? Because they are poems captured in bottles, memories woven into delicate notes that each reveal a part of our soul, an emotion preserved over time.

A vocation shaped by the Search of Harmonies

Stéphanie de Bruijn began her vocation in perfumery with musical notes at the conservatoire, playing the piano and studying music theory and opera for ten years. After gaining an education in science, this student with an undeniable capacity for learning discovered the mysteries of plant biology and physiology. She also had a passion for art, literature and music, which fuelled her imagination and creativity. Then it was another form of composition, that of perfumery, which would eventually take her passion.

Birth of the Prêt-à-Parfumer fragrances

In 2001, Stéphanie de Bruijn won the International Perfumery Competition with her perfume "Poignées d'Amour". This innovative concept allows customers to choose from a range of olfactory notes the ones that best suit them, and to mix them according to their desires to create their own perfume. This concept won over the jury, who praised the originality, quality and personality of this proposal.

A boudoir-laboratory in Paris 

In 2008, Stéphanie de Bruijn opened her own intimate and confidential boudoir-laboratory at 52 rue de l'Université, in the heart of Paris's 7th arrondissement, to bring this deeply human adventure of creating a perfume to a close.

It's in this warm, refined setting that she welcomes her customers. She listens carefully to them, advises them sympathetically, and creates made-to-measure perfumes that reflect their personality, their history and their emotions, imbuing them with the modern, refined elegance that is the hallmark of Parisian women, whether born or bred. 

A collection inspired by Stéphanie's Journeys 

In addition to her made-to-measure perfumes, Stéphanie de Bruijn also offers a collection of ready-to-perfume fragrances that are the result of her travels, encounters and personal favourites. She creates perfumes that invite you to travel, that evoke places, moments and sensations. Her creations include L'Île aux Cygnes, a tribute to her adoptive city, or Le Musset, a celebration of Romantic literature.
