Step into the artist’s studio with Vilhelm Parfumerie’s Faces of Francis, a fragrance that captures creativity in motion — raw, evocative, and alive with memory. Bright aldehydes and golden saffron open the scent like sunlight across a canvas, before melting into heart notes of roasted pistachio, juniper, and driftwood. The base deepens into smoky oud, ambergris, and vetiver, echoing the warmth of distant places and the pull of imagination. It’s a scent that blurs time and place — an olfactory portrait of inspiration itself.
Vilhelm Parfumerie is a niche fragrance brand that blends vintage with the new to create scents that elicit recognition but not familiarity. The label works with renowned French perfumers Jerome Epinette, Bertrand Duchaufour and Marc-Antoine Corticchiato who creatively collaborate for each fragrance. From the popular creations such as Mango Skin, Dear Polly and Room Service to the lesser known masterpieces Morning Chess and Oud Affair, every perfume is packaged in an heavy spun glass bottle and dressed in a saffron yellow label to represent Vilhelm Parfumerie’s contemporary aesthetic. Jan Ahlgren, the founder, named the perfumery after his grandfather as a tribute to the glamor of his era. Discover the brand below.
