Charenton Macerations Exclusives
Hidden inside every fragrance house, there is a wall. Some call it “The Wall of Orphaned Fragrances.” Others, “The Wall of Lost Dreams.” Whether deemed too olfactively challenging for mainstream audiences, too conceptually controversial, or relying on too rare or expensive of ingredients to produce, this wall is home to countless abandoned fragrances, most of which contain will never see the light of day.
It is this very wall that first inspired the creation of Charenton Macerations. They have set out to create a home for fragrances, be they misfit or misunderstood, that dare disobey the rules of the mainstream perfume world. A home they call the Fragrance Underground. At Charenton Macerations, they create fragrances that make a statement. They are committed to olfactive storytelling unencumbered by the antiquated structural constraints and tired gender stereotypes of scent. Their fragrances are not aspirational accessories. They are crafted from the raw emotional experiences of those who encounter them. They flower from the rituals and revolutions of our collective past. They speak using the rich vocabularies of all genders. They are transcendent, irreverent and provocative. Yet they are always incomplete. The final ingredient is always you.
