Parterre Fragrances

BOTANY TO BOTTLE - Genuinely rare perfumes, defined by our botanical adventures and the unusual ingredients we grow and distil on our own estate.

Keyneston Mill, is the creative and experimental home of Parterre Fragrances. Uniquely, we grow, harvest, and distil the key ingredients for our luxury perfumes on this 50 acre estate in Dorset dedicated to aromatic and scented plants.

As contemporary plant explorers, our discoveries bring to light unusual, natural ingredients which we use exclusively for our perfumes. Once distilled our oils are then worked into exquisite compositions by our master perfumer Jacques Chabert – one of the world’s leading perfumers. The final creations filled here at Keyneston Mill, are genuinely rare, beautiful and intriguing fragrances.

ARTISTRY

Once distilled, each oil is then matured at Keyneston Mill until it is ready for the Jacques Chabert, our Master Perfumer.

We then take these to Jacques in Grasse, in the South of France, for the final creation.

Our fragrances are created in parallel with the growth and distillation of the plants. This means the process takes a long time - up to 3 years from initial concept until the final perfume is available.

Each perfume concept is the result of an artistic or travel inspiration, combined with our rare ingredient.

Each perfume is a limited edition and the perfect adventure for trial of truly unique perfumes.

Reviews

"The Discovery Set arrived today, and they are fantastic. Very natural (not artificial at all), poetic, unique and so comfortable to wear, as in it doesn’t interfere with the senses, but rather brings inspiration when wearing them. - The Discovery Set"

"Warm, smooth, sultry notes. Makes me feel like it's a ‘lazy summer evening’ even if it’s raining outside. It arrived very quickly, and came in a fabulous box. Quite a sumptuous experience all round. - The Hour of Dusk & Gold"
