The Shesmou philosophy
‘A perfume is not worn, it is lived’ – this maxim by Sarah Merciol perfectly sums up the vision of the Shesmou house. A personalised fragrance should be a faithful expression of the wearer’s deepest identity, but also a companion in evolution, capable of adapting to the metamorphoses of life.
The Shesmou methodology
Sarah Merciol’s method for creating personalised perfumes is as sophisticated as it is effective.
- The Olfactory Interview – An in-depth conversation combining childhood memories, aspirations and sensory preferences.
- The Emotional Portrait – The creation of an emotional map unique to each customer.
- The Alchemical Selection – The meticulous choice of the combinations that will go into the final composition.
- Personalised Maturation – Each creation is given a specific resting time, determined by the complexity of the formula.
- The Final Test – An iterative process of subtle adjustments to achieve perfection.
Time, the ally of perfection
Creating a made-to-measure fragrance is a journey, a delicate alchemy that cannot be rushed. Each Shesmou fragrance is the result of a meticulous process in which every stage is important. The maturing of the essences, the refining of the accords and the subtle adjustments take time, time that is necessary for the fragrance to find its perfect balance and reveal all its depth.
This attention to detail guarantees a fragrance that is not just beautiful, but truly you. Because a personalised fragrance can’t be manufactured, it has to be crafted with patience and exacting standards.
