Affinessence is a niche French brand, whose name means "affinity with essence". After 30 years of creating perfumes, Mrs. Sophie BRUNEAU decided to launch her own brand, AFFINESSENCE. She is still convinced that breaking conventions and thinking differently allows us to create much higher quality perfumes. Her greatest wish is to offer us exquisite and luxurious perfumes, hoping that we will find the one that will become our personal and unique signature.
Affinessence is one of the first brands in the history of perfumery to create art perfumes without an olfactory pyramid. This French niche perfume, AFFINESSENCE, stands out for its long-lasting power. It is genderless and does not divide into top, middle or base notes. What you smell when you spray it is exactly what you will have all day long!
It is a personal choice of the Middle Eastern tycoons, with a decidedly luxurious positioning. Imagine for a moment, you are wearing the same fragrance as the oil princes! Just thinking about it, you can already smell the scent of wealth, can't you?
Sophie BRUNEAU, founder of AFFINESSENCE
Made from the rarest and most precious raw materials, our perfumes are not only luxurious and original, but also entirely "linear". Whether you choose a fragrance from the TOP NOTES COLLECTION, fresh and dynamic, or from the BASE NOTES COLLECTION, warm and sensual, your perfume will remain constant throughout the day. Your olfactory signature, exceptional and unique, will diffuse the same luxurious facets, up to 5 meters of trail, offering an unmatched quality.
Wearing an AFFINESSENCE perfume means imprinting the senses and minds with your presence with a unique signature.
AFFINESSENCE dedicates its collection to lovers of quality, but especially to those passionate about emotions, to sensitive people who favor smell and the feelings it evokes, to those who wish to express their senses and their heart.
In China, Santal-Basmati is a bestseller that won the Best Artistic Perfume 2023 award from MAPA. Basmati, one of the most fragrant rices in the world of Indian origin, is famous for its export ban. The second bestseller is Leather-Turmeric.
TOP NOTES COLLECTION
Sophie BRUNEAU, the creator of the AFFINESSENCE house explains: "I have always been keen to satisfy consumers. In 30 years of career, I have always found that "colognes" and fresh eau de toilettes were pleasant but despite all the promises, they have always caused a certain frustration among consumers: they lack intensity, sillage of course, but above all, hold.
Indeed, fresh notes being the most volatile, they fade very quickly, and either the perfume is significantly transformed olfactorily, losing its identity and freshness, or it simply disappears, leaving the consumer disappointed and frustrated!
It has always been a "holy grail" in perfumery: to succeed in creating "fresh but long-lasting" perfumes! A real expectation of consumers, as for myself... never satisfied until now!
Having worked on this subject for several years, hand in hand with perfumers, Sophie BRUNEAU has managed to once again create a REVOLUTION in the field of perfumery!
HEART NOTES COLLECTION
The niche house launched its new products in October 2024: Rose-Licorice and Saffron-Neroli for the new Heart Notes collection.
Unleash an irresistible power of seduction, scientifically proven thanks to Firmenich technology and Symrise technology. Dive into the captivating alliance of Flowers and Fruits, and let your sensuality blossom thanks to an innovative “attractive heart”, designed to maximize your olfactory impact and strengthen your power of seduction.
BASE NOTES COLLECTION
Born from its creator's passion for base notes, this collection of art perfumes was composed exclusively from Base Essences.
The quintessence of perfumery, these deep, powerful and tenacious notes have been staged in an unprecedented way to form true “sensual signatures”, which beyond their dazzling trails, manage to move all our senses.
Thanks to their high molecular weight, the base notes are the heaviest, which gives them exceptional qualities in perfumery: intensity, very long-lasting, warmth with a particularly sensual effect on the skin and on natural materials such as cashmere and an incomparable trail.
But beyond their physicochemical qualities, base notes are those which touch us deep within ourselves because they resonate with our innermost self.
If we find ourselves in "Affinessence" with these notes, it is because they enter into direct affinity with our senses: Amber, vanilla, woody, or animal, these warm and round notes are real triggers of emotions. Divine on the skin, comfortable and deeply reassuring, they make all our senses and our whole being vibrate. Close your eyes and follow your instinct. Choose your perfume of excellence from the collection... and let yourself be carried away.
