A Note from the Brand
Vilhelm Parfumerie stands as a distinguished niche fragrance house, where each scent is woven into an elaborate founding story. The brand evokes the bygone memories and pivotal moments of its founder, Jan Ahlgren. From nostalgic recollections of childhood summers in a seaside cabin to an olfactory interpretation of early 1900s Paris—capturing its hues, vibrancy, and rhythm—every fragrance emerges from a broad, creative, and collaborative journey. We draw inspiration from youthful memories and travel experiences, allowing ourselves to be transported to distant eras or landscapes. From conceptualization to realization, our scents are a deeply personal labor of love, and we take immense joy in sharing them with you.
The brand’s name pays homage to Jan’s grandfather, Vilhelm: a debonair and charismatic figure who ignited Jan’s appreciation for classic aesthetics and the glamour of the early 20th century. In Vilhelm Parfumerie, you will discover a nod to the past, expressed through our contemporary aesthetic and olfactory vocabulary. From our dynamic, innovative fragrances to the heritage-inspired design and modern prints, every element of a Vilhelm product is thoughtfully and meticulously crafted by hand.
Additional Brand Context
Designer Vilhelm Parfumerie currently features 35 perfumes in our fragrance archive. As a relatively new fragrance brand, its journey began with the earliest edition launched in 2015, with the most recent creation debuting in 2025. The brand’s fragrances are the result of collaborative efforts with renowned perfumers Jérôme Epinette, Marc-Antoine Corticchiato, and Bertrand Duchaufour.
