L'Essence des Notes

L'Essence des Notes dates its brand inspiration and activity to 2008 and was created by Huong Mangin, whose earlier career included work in perfumery and cosmetics, including work with Chanel, Guerlain, Dior, Shiseido, and Pierre Fabre. The house brings together French perfumery and well-being, developing fragrances around essential oils and the principles of olfactotherapy. Its fragrances are created in Grasse, Provence, using French perfumery know-how alongside essential oils and natural essences. The collection is conceived as a series of well-being elixirs, with essential oils selected and combined for intended emotional associations including good mood, calm, confidence, energy, and serenity. In September 2022, the brand introduced a new collection that continued its well-being concept and was explicitly designed around olfactotherapy. Among its fragrances, Pamplemousse & Basilic is identified as the brand’s iconic product and is labeled a best seller on its official site.
