About Us
Vanitas Parfums.
Founded in 2022 by perfumer Paul Voulgaridis, Vanitas Parfums is an independent fragrance house shaped by a precise, expressive approach to composition. Each perfume is conceived with structure, proportion and emotional depth in mind, unfolding gradually on skin to reveal each perfume’s unique story through wear.
The house has since received recognition from The Fragrance Foundation and The Golden Pineapple Fragrance Awards, including an award win for “Best Floral Fragrance of 2026” and multiple finalist nominations.
"Scent is our language, and we are its poets."
The narrative of perfume
Every fragrance begins with an impression. Something that’s seen, remembered, encountered, or felt. It may be a landscape, a gesture, a particular quality of light, a musical score, or the residual fragments of an almost forgotten memory.
Perfume has no practical obligation. It exists because someone wished to make something beautiful, something strange, seductive or unforgettable, and another person wished to wear it. Vanitas embraces that indulgence without apology.
Materials
Vanitas Parfums works with the finest available natural extracts, absolutes, resins, super-critical extractions, distillations and contemporary aroma chemicals sourced from specialist producers all over the globe.
Vanitas.
In the vanitas paintings of centuries past, flowers bloomed beside extinguished candles, precious objects and reminders of mortality. Beauty was not diminished by its brevity. Its brevity was precisely what gave it vitality.
Wear it generously!
