Fragrance house

Susanne Lang

Toronto-based fragrance house Susanne Lang was founded in 2002 by Susanne Langmuir. The house developed from Langmuir’s interest in aromatics encountered through travel in India, Bali, France, and Australia, and its creative identity centers on a wardrobe of fragrances designed to be worn individually or layered to create a personalized scent. The brand is more directly associated with this layering wardrobe than with any single demonstrably iconic or bestselling fragrance. The fragrance business later formed part of Langmuir’s broader beauty career; she went on to create Bite Beauty, sold it to LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton in 2014, and left the company in late 2018.
