About the atelier
Where biotechnology met perfumery
Maison Butter is an independent fragrance atelier where biotechnology, craftsmanship and perfumery come together to create fragrances for people and spaces. Every creation begins with curiosity, develops through careful experimentation and is refined until every note feels balanced, elegant and timeless.
What started as a passion for creating beautifully scented candles gradually evolved into something much greater: a fragrance atelier dedicated to developing original compositions that transform everyday spaces into meaningful experiences.
The story behind the atelier
My journey into fragrance did not begin in the perfume industry
I graduated in Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering, where I developed a deep understanding of chemistry, formulation and the relationship between materials and their performance. Over the years, my professional career expanded through entrepreneurship, international trade and product development. Yet fragrance remained a constant source of inspiration.
When I founded Maison Butter, my goal was simple: to create home fragrances that felt elegant, authentic and thoughtfully made. As the atelier grew, so did my curiosity about perfumery itself. I began studying fragrance materials, accords and composition, discovering that the science I had learned years earlier naturally complemented the creative process of building perfumes.
Today, biotechnology provides precision, while perfumery brings emotion, balance and character to every fragrance developed at Maison Butter.
I believe the most beautiful fragrances are the ones that quietly become part of someone’s life.

The atelier
Every fragrance begins the same way
With blotter strips, carefully selected raw materials, handwritten notes and countless evaluations. Some compositions come together quickly. Others take weeks of refinement before every accord feels perfectly balanced.
The atelier is intentionally quiet, a place where ideas develop slowly, where formulas are tested with patience and where every fragrance is given the time it deserves. It is a space where science meets creativity, and where every detail matters.
What we create today
Fragrances designed to become part of everyday life
Luxury scented candles
Hand-poured in small batches in refillable glass vessels.
Reed diffusers
Continuous fragrance without a flame, in vessels designed to belong to the interior.
Scented bars and room sprays
Fragrance for wardrobes, drawers and the spaces a candle cannot reach.
Bespoke fragrance concepts
Signature scents and private label collections for homes, hospitality and curated spaces.
Rather than overwhelming a room, every fragrance is designed to become part of its atmosphere — subtle, elegant and memorable. We believe that the most beautiful fragrances never compete for attention. They simply make people feel at home.
Maison Butter continues to evolve as an independent fragrance atelier, expanding beyond home fragrance into original perfume compositions and bespoke scent experiences. While our collections continue to grow, the philosophy remains unchanged: to create fragrances with integrity, timeless elegance and emotional connection.
Because the most memorable places are remembered not only for how they looked, but for how they made us feel. And fragrance is often the first memory we carry with us.
