About Us
Artisanal scent makers since 2008
Our Story
Mother Nature is at the heart of Essensorie. We believe that the depth and complexity of her fragrances are simply not replicable using synthetic molecules in a laboratory. Essential oils and absolutes - extracted from leaves, flowers, timbers, fruits, seeds, resins and roots - intimately connect us with the natural world through scent. Essensorie exists to facilitate this bond; it is our goal to bring you nature, bottled.
French-trained botanical perfumer
Our founder
Nicole spent the formative years of her life on her parents' plant nursery. It was here that her lifelong love of plants and natural fragrance blossomed. A serial entrepreneur from a young age, she worked as a designer and marketer for much of her early career before a chance genealogical discovery inspired a voyage to her ancestral homeland, the south of France. Here she discovered the ancient art of natural perfumery.
Now, over a decade on, Nicole’s plant obsession, her exquisite designer’s eye and love for natural perfumery are passionately packed into each product batch. Located on the Collins Street wing of the historic, mosaic-tiled Block Arcade, the Essensorie store has been described as a sensory experience like no other.
Fragrance From plants
Natural essences
Our products are fragranced by pure plant-distilled essential oils, all of which contain no synthetic aroma-chemicals. Masterfully-blended by our French-trained perfumer utilising a complex alchemy of top, middle and base notes that possess grounding aromatherapeutic properties to stimulate mind, body and soul.
Whether it be an Essence Blend, bottle of our famous Pillow Perfume or nourishing Hand Cream, we’re sure that your senses will be delighted.
