Parfums Quartana

PARFUMS QUARTANA is an award-winning New York fragrance house founded by Joseph Quartana. The house treats perfume as authored atmosphere. Formula, name, bottle, box, image, sound, symbolism, and ritual are designed as one system. Each fragrance belongs to a larger scent-world: poison flowers, golden vitality, or sacred mystery.

Origin: United States
Houses: 6 fragrances

Beaut'Air

Beaut'Air is PARFUMS QUARTANA's atmosphere of the extraordinary: grapefruit and lemon cutting through ethereal ozone, followed by linden blossom, fresh linen, Turkish rose, orris, saffron, sandalwood, patchouli, and soil. Airy and restorative without becoming a generic clean fragrance, it carries the softness of an open window and freshly laundered sheets while remaining grounded and quietly luxurious. 15% Eau de Parfum. Concept by Joseph Quartana; perfumed by Christina Christie. From Les Potions D'Entéléchie. Fresh, floral, gourmand, woody, and earthy. Cruelty-free.

Soleil Invisible

Soleil Invisible is sunlight in chiaroscuro: tangerine, lychee, passionfruit, and pink pepper glinting against smoky vetiver, cypress, oakwood, guaiac wood, labdanum, earthy musk, and Madagascar vanilla. The fragrance moves like a full day of sun—from shadowed morning through tropical brightness and golden warmth—without collapsing into conventional beach-fragrance language. 15% Eau de Parfum. Concept by Joseph Quartana; perfumed by Christina Christie. From Les Potions D'Entéléchie. Citrus, smoky, woody, vanillic, and gourmand. Cruelty-free.

Hemlock

Linear by design, it holds one continuous after-dark tension: black vinyl resting on a bed of spiced vanilla, polished into elegant restraint. 12% Eau de Toilette. Concept by Joseph Quartana; perfumed by Christelle Laprade. From Les Potions Fatales. Green, spicy, woody, oriental, and vanillic. Cruelty-free.

Forest of the Golden Dream

Forest of the Golden Dream is an evergreen memento vitae: cardamom, pink pepper, coriander, lemon, golden mimosa, frankincense, violet leaf, Siberian pine, Canadian fir balsam, eucalyptus, cypress, sandalwood, patchouli, and moss-covered earth. Luminous and meditative rather than conventionally green, it turns forest atmosphere, sacred woods, and inward golden light into a transporting signature fragrance. Concept by Joseph Quartana; perfumed by Celine Barel. From Les Potions D'Entéléchie. Green, aromatic, coniferous, woody, and amber. Clean at Sephora and cruelty-free.

Ierofante

Ierofante is the one who reveals: a sacred-smoke extrait of suede, gasoline vapor, nutmeg, styrax pyrogene, smoky leather, frankincense, golden amber, cashmeran, vetiver, myrrh, and benzoin. Built as ignition, ascent, and arrival, it transforms combustible materials into an elegant, restrained fragrance of inner revelation rather than shock value. 22% Extrait de Parfum. Concept and design by Joseph Quartana; perfumed by Luca Maffei. Smoky, amber, leather, resinous, and gourmand. Winner of the Art and Olfaction Awards Independent Category. Cruelty-free.

Wolfsbane

Wolfsbane is a feral green fragrance of angelica root, fig leaf, cumin, black ginger, psychedelic absinthe, patchouli, cedarwood, tuberose, tobacco flower, castoreum, benzoin, sandalwood, spiced black plum, vetiver, deer tongue, and earthy black truffles. Animalic, ceremonial, and unusually original, it stages the moment when the beast at the threshold recognizes the wearer as kin. 18% Eau de Parfum. Concept by Joseph Quartana; perfumed by Phillipe Paparella-Paris. From Les Potions Fatales. Balsamic, animalic, earthy, boozy, woody, and gourmand. Clean at Sephora, vegan, and cruelty-free.
