SCENTED ADVENTURES
Our Perfumes are defined by scented adventures and the rare extracts that we produce. As one of the only perfume houses to produce their own extracts, our search for rare scented plants takes us around the world.
We are continually inspired by the people, plants and history of these scented places.
MONTMARTRE, PARIS
In creating A Tribute to Edith, the rose scent of the Geranium led us to Montmartre in Paris.

How we grow our ingredients
Transforming rare and important plant varieties into perfume oils requires dedication and skill. The intensity of the scent is achieved through nurturing the plants, picking at the optimum moment and distilling with care. Ingredients can take 7 years to grow and prepare.
Distillation may take days, producing just a few teaspoons of oil. Truly as valuable as gemstones.
The oils produced are then sent to our Master Perfumer in Grasse, where they become signature notes in our fragrances.
Sustainably Produced
Vegan. Cruelty Free. Phthalate Free
At Parterre Fragrances we produce rare perfume defined by the unique natural ingredients that we grow and distil on our botanic, sustainable estate, and expertly crafted by our Master Perfumer in Grasse.
We create these genuinely rare fragrances by working with the natural elements of the environment and the extraordinary world of plants and their botanical properties. Each year a finite number of bottles of perfume are created from each extraction, to offer a true limited edition eau de parfum.
