Fragrifert Parfumeur

Fragrifert Parfumeur is a perfume house dedicated to safeguarding and celebrating the perfumes of brilliant but ill-fated Victorian perfumer Gustave Alphonse Fragrifert. Some profound bad luck coupled with some unfortunate decisions saw to it that Gustave Fragrifert never actually sold any of his own creations and because of this, his name and work were about to forgotten by history. As luck would have it, in 2011, a century after Fragrifert went missing in the jungle of Borneo never to emerge again, some of his possessions were discovered in New Zealand where they made their way into the hands of budding perfumer Francesco van Eerd. Having just completed his training, van Eerd recognized the outstanding quality of Fragrifert’s formulations and, counting his lucky stars, realized that he found himself in the unique position of being able to rescue Gustave’s magnificent olfactory oeuvre from oblivion. Thus two strands of the rich tapestry that is life came together at the right time to create Fragrifert Parfumeur, the artisan perfumery dedicated to showcasing and celebrating, finally after a full century, Gustave Fragrifert’s brilliant "perfumes that never were ..." Designer Fragrifert Parfumeur has 9 perfumes in our fragrance base. Fragrifert Parfumeur is an old perfume house. The earliest edition was created in 1897 and the newest is from 1901. The nose who worked on the fragrances is Gustave Alphonse Fragrifert.
