Elegantes London Web:

www.elegantes.co.uk

Company profile: Elegantes is a niche perfumery committed to returning perfume back to its traditions whilst achieving perfection without compromise. Founders of Elegantes, Thomas and Dagmar Smit, are known around the globe for their expertise in having established some of the world’s finest hotels. Inspired by the many personalities they have met and by moments from their journeys around the world, this, and their passion for attention to detail inspired the creation of Elegantes London, the world’s rarest perfumery.

In keeping with the Elegantes Rare Perfumery philosophy, the perfume itself is captured in a hand-crafted crystal flacon. The shape of the flacon inspired by the wedding gown of Thomas’ mother, like an haute couture ball gown, when viewed from underneath it is reminiscent of the delicate petals of a beautiful flower. Each flacon is unique, no two the same, created from a four-piece mould; the only type of its kind in the world and is hand polished for between 8 to 10 hours. The crown, inspired by a brilliant cut diamond has 85 facets and is also hand finished, another nod to the attention to detail and craftsmanship that goes into every perfume.

The quartz flacon has been created in the shape of a black quartz monolith, inspired by a determined and powerful personality and made from black crystal.

Elegantes is positioned at the very top of the niche, prestige perfume market and attracts global guests through its retail partnerships where there continues to be strong and consistent growth in both sales and distribution.

Elegantes is dedicated to growth creating new products in addition to launching in other key cities including New York, Hong Kong and Los Angeles.
