Phenom perfumes capture invisible phenomena, from the air before a storm to the warmth of a wood, and turn them into memories to wear on the skin. Ambrosia, Crème de Santal, Fleur de Socotra, Oud Sultana, Ouragan and Rouge Burlat are available at Sayhar, a niche perfumery in Paris 8th, in our boutique at 27 rue de Marignan or online.
The Phenom house
Phenom is a perfume house founded in 2024, born of an unusual obsession: the smell of phenomena. Where others marvelled at the power of a storm, the founder remembered its smell, that electrifying mix of charged air and damp earth. He did not want to let those moments evaporate. That is where the idea of Phenom came from: to capture in a bottle the essence of the storms, tides, dawns and fires that mark our lives. Each perfume in the collection translates a natural phenomenon into an olfactory emotion. To compose these sensory pictures, Phenom brought in two noses with complementary paths. Chris Maurice, from one of the most prestigious families in Spanish perfumery, created five of the six fragrances. Nathalie Feisthauer, who went on to work for Hermès and Cartier before founding her own atelier in Montmartre, composed the last one in the range. A house born of the belief that perfume can be the most faithful memory of a moment lived.
