If you could turn back time, would you?

Co&De Fragrances is a brand made by two people

Before we ever made perfume, we already meant a lot to each other. Scent was one of the first languages we shared. Certain smells made us feel closer. Back then, we had no idea it would one day become a brand.

We decided to make perfume because of a moment we both know well

The day is almost over. Maybe you got everything done, maybe you didn’t. Then you catch the scent of your perfume, still on your skin. It’s faint, but you’d still know it. For a second you’re back at the moment you put it on this morning, and the whole day plays back in your head.

There’s a film that ends on this idea: if you could turn back time, the best way to use it would be to live the same day over, exactly as it was. Change nothing. Only this time, really feel it.

So we split the work. One of us writes down what we’ve lived through, in scenes and words. The other, a perfumer, blends those emotions into top, heart and base notes, until they become something you can actually smell. Every one of our fragrances begins this way, between the two of us.

We put the hours and moods of a day into a bottle to share with people who want to feel every minute of it
