Our mission.
Essence of Paris was created to make premium fragrances accessible to all. As passionate scent enthusiasts, we couldn't ignore the high price markups in the industry due to celebrity endorsements and expensive packaging. We realized perfumes were being sold for far more than their production cost.
It’s time to say goodbye to feeling lost or left behind when it comes to experiencing premium fragrances and to welcome a new way to shop; your own. With Essence of Paris, enjoying clean, ethically sourced, long-lasting, high-end perfume is within reach.
For those who feel overlooked by the industry, who are tired of fragrances being an investment, or who are curious about stepping into a new way of consuming perfumes, we can’t wait to take the journey with you.

Team clean.
Fragrance reflects who you are. At Essence of Paris, we want our perfumes to do more than make you feel good. We want them to be good—for you and for the planet.
We follow strict U.S. and E.U. cosmetic safety recommendations when formulating our products, which are ethical, sustainable, and sourced from the highest quality ingredients. Our vegan and eco-friendly fragrances are 100% non-toxic and cruelty-free, so you can indulge guilt-free.
Team green.
We’ve also nailed the packaging. We use recyclable, environmentally friendly materials for our packaging, which helps our planet and saves you money. Win-win!
All our returned perfumes are donated to charity, ensuring a fully eco-friendly and ethical sales process.


Your Essence fam.
Based in New York but spread across three continents, we love to bring together viewpoints and perspectives from all over the world into our brand.
France particularly runs deep within our veins. With five perfumers located in Grasse and our nose/evaluator located in Paris, you can’t have Essence of Paris without that French touch. We see our customers as a vital part of our team, which is why we are always looking for new ways to connect. We listen to your suggestions, develop scents based on what you love, and always have an open ear to help us improve the Essence of Paris experience.
