fragrance house

A fragrance house is a specialized company that creates and develops scents for perfumes, colognes, and other scented products. They consist of trained perfumers—often called "noses"—who blend various aromatic ingredients, such as essential oils, aroma compounds, and synthetics, to craft unique fragrances. These houses manage the entire process from concept to final formulation, working closely with brands or clients to develop curated scents that evoke specific feelings or identities. Examples include well-known houses like Guerlain or Chanel, which have a long history of signature fragrances.
