Essential Parfums Discovery Set12 × 2 ml

The Essential Parfums discovery set brings together twelve eau de parfums in 2 ml bottles.

The perfumer takes center stage

Essential Parfums is a Paris-based house founded in 2018 by Géraldine Archambault, which turns the usual logic on its head: the perfumer's name is on the bottle, and the creation takes precedence over the packaging. Its philosophy can be summed up in one sentence: "simplicity as the ultimate luxury". The house gives every perfumer the same brief: create a unisex fragrance around an inspiring natural raw material, with complete creative freedom. Ten perfumers responded, including Calice Becker, Anne Flipo, Olivier Pescheux, Nathalie Lorson, Quentin Bisch, Fabrice Pellegrin, Sophie Labbé and Antoine Maisondieu.

What's inside the set

Twelve 2 ml bottles, or 24 ml of perfume — enough to try each creation for several days in a row rather than on a blotter.

Why start here

At Essential Parfums, each fragrance is born from a single raw material entrusted to a different perfumer: bergamot for one, patchouli for another, vanilla or iris for a third. Exploring the collection means exploring a palette of raw materials — and twelve bottles are enough to find out which one suits you.

Who is it for?

For those who want to discover an entire house rather than a single fragrance, and for gifting without the risk of choosing the wrong one. All the house's fragrances are unisex.
