Our Story

Michel Almairac, the perfumer behind Cartier's Les Heures de Parfum collection and dozens of other celebrated fragrances, launched Parle Moi de Parfum in Paris in 2013 as his personal fragrance house. The name — 'speak to me of perfume' — signals its intent: these are fragrances made by someone who has thought about nothing else for decades, addressed to people who feel the same way.

Our Philosophy

“Parle Moi de Parfum holds that fragrance is a language — one with grammar, syntax, and the capacity for genuine eloquence. The house makes no fragrances that don't have something specific to say.”

Parle Moi de Parfum's Most Iconic

Papyrus Oud 71

“A scholar's midnight study in the Sahara”

★ 4.08·541 reviews

Papyrus Oud opens with a luminous burst of saffron—golden, slightly peppery, unexpectedly fresh—before descending into a rich, resinous heart where papyrus and oud intertwine like ancient script on weathered parchment. The base unfolds with creamy amber and supple leather, creating a fragrance that feels both intellectually compelling and sensually grounding, as if inhaling the dusty warmth of a scholar's library mixed with desert musk.
