Our vision

Two families
of houses

Geneva holds a historic place in the global perfume industry: it was here, in 1895, that the house that would become Firmenich was founded, and Givaudan settled in Vernier as early as 1898. This heritage is part of Geneva's perfume ecosystem. Yet many of the houses Geneva's residents follow remain impossible to find in their own city. Our selection rests on two commitments.

01 · Discover

The houses you cannot find here

Independent and niche houses, Swiss or international, with little or no distribution in Geneva and Switzerland, which Geneva's residents will at last be able to smell, try and buy.

02 · Tell

The houses that shape Swiss perfumery

Houses born or based in Switzerland, coming to share their story, their materials and their craftsmanship with the Geneva public.

The venue

Salle
du Faubourg

An iconic venue in the centre of Geneva, offering an elegant and adaptable setting to welcome the houses, the public and the event's various spaces.
