The house of Nysos
Nysos Parfums is a French perfume house whose name comes from Nysa, the mythical region where the young Dionysus was taken in by the nymphs before setting out to travel the world to teach mankind about the fruits of the earth and the wonders of the vine. From this joyful and fragrant procession, the house draws inspiration to bring the scents of the legendary festivals of the god of wine back to life. Its ambition is to make niche perfumery accessible to everyone. By cutting out the middlemen, Nysos offers high-quality fragrances, with concentrations between 20% and 22%, at a fairer price. The formulations are vegan, free of dyes and stabilisers, and prioritise natural ingredients sourced from responsible agriculture. To create these fragrances, the house brings together leading perfumers: Olivier Cresp, born in Grasse and creator of Mugler’s Angel; Ilias Ermenidis; Benjamin Bélizon; Alex Lee; Hamid Merati-Kashani and Alexandra Monet. The deliberately understated bottles allow the fragrance to take centre stage.
