Atelier Vesper

Founded in the Netherlands in 2020, Atelier Vesper developed from a project begun in 2018 by Erik and Kristel van Dalen. Its concept is to translate memories, emotions, and experiences into scent. The line was conceived after Erik van Dalen encountered the scents of nature in a French field, and he established it with his sister Kristel and their friend Marco Ouwerkerk. The brand’s early public identity emphasized transparency: through the Vesper Foundation, brand-ambassador partnerships were directed toward charitable organizations. Its 2021 debut comprised five fragrances, including Esencia, which drew inspiration from the French-field experience behind the concept. In 2025, Atelier Vesper was presented at Pitti Fragranze as a new-entry brand, with its fragrances created in Grasse.
