ABOUT US

Founder Joseph Quartana with Soleil Invisible perfumer Christina Christie

After producing 27 award-winning fragrances for SIXSCENTS PARFUMS from 2008 to 2012, I founded PARFUMS QUARTANA in 2014 to focus on creating stunningly unique, masterfully blended conceptual perfumes from the world's finest essential oils and aroma molecules.

Our ethos is simple and firm: the perfumer and myself won't release a fragrance until we feel it can't be further improved and agree it's ready, whether that takes months or years.

This uncompromising commitment to excellence has won PARFUMS QUARTANA two of the most prestigious blindfolded prizes on Earth, in a row: The Fragrance Foundation's Perfume Extraordinaire Award in 2017 for the smoky spiced floral Poppy Soma extrait de parfum followed by the Art & Olfaction Institute's Independent Category Award for the Space-Age, gasoline-infused Ierofante parfum extrait in 2023.

To get the best experience from us, I recommend a purchase of one of our reimbursable discovery sets as not only do you get a one week supply (2mL) of each perfume to test out on your individual person, after you fall in love with our fragrant magic, you're able to apply the purchase price toward a full-size bottle of your choosing, and you'll have an entire month to decide.  It's a great deal and makes the perfect gift.

Thank you for stopping by our 100% independent, owner-operated house of perfume, I look forward to showing you around.

Cheers!

Joseph Quartana
