“It’s exciting to create beauty, sensuality and excitement out of the invisible.”

Quentin Bisch's energy makes the air around him electric as he talks about perfumes. This all-encompassing passion is what led a music student and a theater company artistic director to perfumery. A one-month internship in Grasse was enough to find his true vocation and then devote several years to the study of perfume composition. The arts continue to inspire Quentin. He creates perfumes in the same way he might direct a theatrical performance using strong ideas, careful embellishments and surprising effects.
He was voted best perfumer in 2020. He has designed perfumes for Jean Paul Gaultier, Paco Rabanne, Saint Laurent, Azzaro, Mugler, Chloé, Ex Nihilo, Etat Libre d'Orange…

With over 25 years of experience in the perfume industry, Essential Parfums was founded with a rebellious spirit and a mission to restore the essence of fine perfumery. At Essential Parfums, the idea is simple: give perfumers carte blanche to create, without any constraints or limits.

The brand aims to be simple and transparent: sharing the true passion for the art of perfume, without artifice and at an affordable price.

The brand believes that high-end perfumery at an affordable price is not only possible but also the best way forward. By cutting out middlemen and traditional advertising methods, Essential Parfums is able to circumvent costs that undermine the quality of its fragrances.
