A Young French Signature: Who Stands Behind Notes de Bas de Paje

Notes de Bas de Paje is a fresh take on French perfumery, born in 2023. Despite its young age, the brand has already made a name for itself as a bold experimenter, betting on purity of sound and complex compositions. The name itself—'base notes' plus a play on 'page'—hints that the brand is writing a new chapter in the world of fragrances, where depth and longevity serve as the foundation. The founder(s) chose to remain behind the scenes, letting the perfumery craft speak for itself.

The Perfumer Duo: Amélie Bourgeois and Elia Chiche

Behind every bottle of Notes de Bas de Paje stand two talented artists: Amélie Bourgeois and Elia Chiche. Both are known for their love of rare ingredients and their ability to create modern yet highly wearable compositions. Amélie brings elegance and natural freshness to the collection, while Elia adds character and architecture. Together, they have created fragrances that are layered but not overwhelming, like a dialogue between the classic French school and new olfactory directions.

Brand Philosophy and Style

Notes de Bas de Paje does not chase trends. Instead, the brand focuses on base accords—those 'notes de bas' that carry the sillage and create the foundation of mood. This is perfumery for those who appreciate not only top notes but also how a fragrance unfolds on the skin after hours. The brand can be described as niche with an unisex ambition: its scents are equally appealing to women and men seeking depth and character.

Popular Fragrances: From Exotic to Philosophical

To date, the brand's portfolio includes several collection pieces, each of which has been an event. The most recognizable is Carambolage—a bright, spicy-fruity accord where star fruit intertwines with oriental spices, creating an element of surprise. A completely different character belongs to Towédé: woody-ambery, enveloping, like the warm wind of the African savanna. Prolégomènes is an intellectual composition with green notes and mineral undertones, alluding to an introduction to perfumery science. And finally, Olatua is a leathery and smoky unisex fragrance already hailed as a modern classic. Each of these scents is a standalone work, united by impeccable longevity and sillage.
