Global Excellence Awards 2023| 27 Best Luxury Perfume & Beauty Brand - UK In the year 2012, there was an idea – to create the world’s rarest perfumery. A marvellous idea indeed, conceived by husband and wife Thomas and Dagmar Smit. With shared entrepreneurial intuition, this captivating couple united their talents to create Elegantes London Perfumery. Inspired by a motif etched into a granite archway in Prague, the pair embarked on channelling their passion into a manifestation of that very motif – “Elegant people of our time are honourable people who pass their values on to others, 1599”. Join us as we explore how Elegantes was born, and how its illustrious collection of perfumes has reshaped the definition of ‘exquisite’. It all began with Thomas and Dagmar Smit. Initially establishing themselves as leading hoteliers – the very ones who transformed an old monastery into Prague’s award-winning The Augustine hotel – the pair opted to utilise their experience in luxury to create the perfume house of Dagmar’s dreams. Thomas calls it “Le Château du Parfum” and who played a major role in taking The Body Shop public, alongside various other M&A transactions within the cosmetic industry, they were well equipped to take the perfume industry by storm. It was in 2012 that this venture began, and the couple have never looked back since. Now, with the combined talent of renowned perfumer Julien Rasquinet and designer Raphaël Cloix, Elegantes has evolved into an exclusive perfume house that promises rarity and decadence throughout its 5 collections. Contained within hand-blown crystal flacons, and stamped with the exquisite Elegantes branding, each perfume has been developed to perfection. Whether it contains the ever-elusive tobacco absolute, or the sacred scent of incense, Elegantes’ collection of twelve masterfully curated perfumes promises to provide countless combinations of usages for the most lavish of occasions. As expressed by Elegantes itself – “Elegantes London is the world’s rarest luxury perfume house, harnessing the exceptional skills of some of the best talents in the industry to create fragrances using the finest ingredients.” From the initial idea inception, Elegantes has been solely focused on concocting the divine – scents that can make every moment unforgettable, or attune the atmosphere to its exquisite nature. Its premium perfumes exist as a means for connoisseurs and lovers of ornamental crystal to rejoice in the personality of each piece, while indulging in the bliss that each spritz elicits. Truly, Elegantes is a master of the sublime, and no better is this exemplified than through its ornate designs and delicate aromas. Elegantes’ collection of perfumes is completely unique, and its crystal vessels can be kept as a keepsake for generations to come. This is especially important when gifting to a loved one – not simply for refillable purposes, but for sharing the gift of something timeless. As the first perfume house since the 1930s which ensures its luxury perfumes can be refilled, along with being entirely plastic free, Elegantes has taken a pledge to sustainability since its inception. Together, these benefits have truly pushed Elegantes to the forefront of the luxury perfume industry. Elegantes has managed to create an exclusive collection of perfumes that is simply bursting with personality. Each scent transcends luxury altogether, while simultaneously maintaining its own identity when compared to its siblings. No two are the same, and it’s this very attribute that lends to the untold levels of allure that Elegantes boasts. After all, elegance lies at the very core of the brand, allowing it to present the elite with wonderous aromas that are characterised by their individuality. This is what makes Elegantes distinctive. Never before has a perfumery developed such a distinguished collection of premium perfumes, and it’s quite possible that no brand ever will again. How can one match perfection, after all? Here at LUXLife Magazine, we are in constant pursuit of elegance. So, how could we not turn our undivided attention to Elegantes London? Its collections are more than just perfumes, but are instead bottled experiences just waiting to be set free. And, when they are, the exquisite journey upon which its users will venture can compare to no other. Elegantes has redefined our understanding of what a perfume should be – a feat that can be attributed to no other. For this, we believe no brand is more deserving of the illustrious title of Best Luxury Perfume & Beauty Brand – UK.
