The perfume house Isabel Derroisné, now known to the world as ID Parfums, is a French niche brand with a rich history dating back to 1996. The brand bears the name of its creator, Isabelle Derroisné, whose vision and love for travel laid the foundation of its DNA. Initially creating fragrances as part of the Dr. Pierre Ricaud universe, within the Yves Rocher group, the house from the very beginning positioned itself as a creator of emotional, deeply personal perfumery.
The brand's philosophy is built on the concept of "travel fragrances." Each bottle is not just a composition, but an entire story, transporting one to Tuscany, India, Japan, or Andalusia. The uniqueness of ID Parfums lies in its ability to combine the accessibility of a niche perfume with high-quality raw materials and complex, thoughtful compositions, making it a desirable discovery for true connoisseurs.
The fragrant world of ID Parfums is structured into several vibrant collections, each of which is a separate chapter in the brand's book. The iconic line Âme Toscane, launched in 1996 with an iris-peach fragrance in a sculpture-like bottle, is dedicated to sensual Italian femininity. The collection Andalucia envelops with hot Spanish sun and passion, while Elixir offers more intense and sultry versions of popular compositions.
For those looking for something special, the lines Les Fantaisies with playful, fantasy chords and Le Temps Des Reines, elevating floral notes in a royal setting, have been created. Such diversity allows everyone to find their fragrance route.
Over the years, ID Parfums has developed true cult fragrances that have become the house's signature. The undisputed favorite and symbol of the brand is considered Gandali, whose name translates from Sanskrit as "the smell of flowers." This spicy-floral composition, inspired by India, has held the title of bestseller for many years.
No less beloved by fans are the delicate, like the first breath of spring, Magnolia Alba and the exquisite Fleurs de Kyoto, transporting one to Japanese gardens. The legendary Âme Toscane and its updated version Âme Toscane Renaissance remain the epitome of sensuality, while the gourmand Oh Délice! with notes of praline and cherry is the perfect choice for sweet tooths.
The perfume style of ID Parfums can be characterized as emotional, feminine, and imaginative. The brand skillfully works with floral, fruity, and gourmand chords, often combining them into unexpected but harmonious duets. The house's fragrances are known for their good longevity and voluminous, yet not intrusive sillage, which is valued in niche perfumery.
The compositions are suitable for a wide range of ages and occasions: from light daytime options like Rosa Folia to evening, saturated perfumes such as Eclat Eternel. This universality is built on quality and a clear understanding of its audience.
The high quality and artistic value of ID Parfums' fragrances are ensured by a constellation of outstanding "noses" invited for collaboration. Such masters as Jérôme Epinette, a virtuoso of fresh and naturalistic chords, and Anne Flipo, the author of many cult compositions, have worked on creating the perfumes.
Contributions were also made by Karine Dubreuil, Sidonie Lancesseur, and Vincent Ricord. This collaboration guarantees that every bottle is not just a fragrance, but a work of perfumery art with a recognizable authorial signature.
