Our mission.

Essence of Paris was founded with the mission to bring premium fragrances within everyone's reach. As dedicated fragrance lovers, we saw the excessive price hikes in the market driven by celebrity branding and lavish packaging. We recognized that perfumes were being priced much higher than their actual production costs.

Say goodbye to feeling excluded or left out when it comes to experiencing premium fragrances, and embrace a new way of shopping—one that’s tailored to you.

With Essence of Paris, enjoying clean, ethically sourced, long-lasting luxury perfumes is now accessible. For those who feel ignored by the industry, are weary of perfumes being a major investment, or are eager to explore a new approach to fragrance, we’re excited to join you on this journey.

Transparency.

At Essence of Paris, we believe in transparency and empowering our community with honest, valuable information about the industry and our products. From providing detailed insights into the sourcing of our ingredients to being upfront about our pricing, we do things differently—no smoke and mirrors.

Craftsmanship.

We never sacrifice quality or cut corners. Ever. While we may price our perfumes below what you’re accustomed to, with every bottle of Essence of Paris perfume purchased, you’re receiving the highest-quality perfume sourced from Grasse, France—the perfume capital of the world. Our perfumers uphold the highest standards and values, using higher concentrations than most famous brands to ensure a long-lasting effect.

You are enough.

In an industry that notoriously feeds on insecurities and profits from making us feel like we lack something only they can supply, we won’t dictate trends or tell you which scents are best for you. Try the scents that ignite your senses and make your own rules.

Perfume for all.

Access to premium fragrances shouldn’t be a privilege for just the 1%, but the norm for all. We strive for fairness and believe in offering high-quality fragrances at a price you can afford.

Team clean.

Your fragrance is a reflection of your identity. At Essence of Paris, our goal is to create perfumes that do more than just uplift your mood—they are designed to benefit both you and the planet.

We adhere to rigorous U.S. and E.U. cosmetic safety standards in the creation of our products, ensuring they are ethical, sustainable, and made from top-quality ingredients. Our vegan, eco-conscious fragrances are completely non-toxic and cruelty-free, allowing you to enjoy them with peace of mind
