Nicolas CHABOT, ÆTHER Founder

SINCE 2016, ÆTHER CREATES CONCEPTUAL FRAGRANCES USING THE FINEST SYNTHETIC MOLECULES TO HONOUR THE UNDERLYING FOUNDATIONS OF THE MODERN PERFUMERY.

THE SERIES IS BASED ON THE ICONS OF SYNTHETICS REDEFINING CONTEMPORARY PERFUMERY WITH EMBLEMATIC MOLECULES. 

BY ENCAPSULATING ISO E SUPER (SUPAER), AMBROXAN (XTRAEM) , ALDAMBRE (ULTRAE), BAGDANOL (ÆXTRA) , MUSKS (FLORAE), METHYL LAITONE (SOLAER) AND VELTOL (SUGÆR) IN CREATIONS THAT CAN BE LAYERED TOGETHER, COMBINED WITH ONE’S OWN FAVOURITE FRAGRANCE, OR USED AS A SEPARATELY, ÆTHER LEADS TO A MULTITUDE OF OPTIONS TO INDIVIDUALIZE THE POETRY OF FRAGRANCE.
