WE DON’T PRODUCE PLEASANT SCENTS,
WE CREATE OLFACTORY PERSONALITIES.
The Origin
Since childhood, Robin and Nico have shared a deep passion for scent. Both are devoted perfume lovers, yet their personalities could hardly be more different. Robin embodies emotion and empathy, while Nico with his rational nature and financial background represents the analytical side.
These contrasts make their friendship strong: where one has weaknesses, the other brings strengths. From this grew the vision of a perfume house that amplifies the wearer's personality in key moments, to appear more confident or highlight romantic facets.
pernoire was born in 2020. The name combines per noi, Italian for "for us," symbolizing our personalities, with noire, representing the brand's tone and aesthetic.
The Mission
Pernoire is more than a perfume house. Its mission is to create incomparable fragrances, composed with the utmost care according to the strictest quality standards and developed for exceptional performance, offering a profound olfactory experience. Through unique artistry and alchemy, Pernoire empowers people to express and unfold their individuality.
Pernoire stands for uncompromising quality. Development and production take place in Switzerland, driven by genuine Swiss craftsmanship in Zurich. This is expressed through the work of renowned perfumer Andreas Wilhelm, a long-standing close partner of Pernoire. Together with the founders, he shares and understands the olfactory vision in all its depth and brings it to life.
