Our mission is to champion the world’s most artistic niche fragrance houses by introducing them to discerning retailers and fragrance lovers across the United States.
Our brandsWho We Are
Founded in New York City in 2020 by Nicolas Parat, KINTESSENCE was born from a passion for olfactive artistry and a desire to bring fresh, bold, and high performing fragrances to a new audience.
After more than a decade leading luxury fragrance distribution across Europe, the Middle East, Russia, and the U.S., Nicolas recognized an opportunity to connect extraordinary niche brands with the U.S. retail market in a thoughtful, strategic, and collaborative way.
Today, KINTESSENCE has become the trusted partner for fragrance houses seeking a seamless and elevated entry into the U.S. market. We pair industry knowledge with strong retail relationships, ensuring each brand is represented with integrity, artistry, and impact.
