Brigitte Witschi is a remarkable figure in the world of perfumery, celebrated for her unique and refined creations. Her name has become synonymous with a harmonious blend of art and nature in the olfactory realm.
Based in Bern at her Art of Scent - Swiss Perfumes studio, Brigitte Witschi has been entranced by scents since childhood. She once said, “Already as a child, I had an affinity for scents. I experienced the world around me through my nose: freshly cut grass, dry wood, the young sheep on a farm and much more.” This early connection with scents, combined with the influence of a perfumer neighbor (whom she helped with bottling, binding meshes, and sticking labels), has shaped her life - long passion for fragrance.
Each bottle of perfume crafted by Brigitte Witschi tells a story. Her “Bergduft” perfume line, for example, captures the magic and secrets of the alpine world. Inspired by typical alpine flowers like edelweiss, silver thistle, and gentian, these fresh and powerful fragrances depict the Swiss mountain world in a special way. Alpine flowers have long been attributed with magical powers and healing properties, and Brigitte Witschi manages to translate this essence into her perfumes, creating an olfactory delight that has won popularity far beyond Switzerland's borders.
In total, there are 18 of her creations listed in the database. Some of her well - known works include “Berg Duft N°1 - Edelweiss” (2008), “Berg Duft N°2 - Blauer Enzian” (2009), and “Berg Duft N°3 - Silberdistel” (2013). Each perfume is carefully formulated, with different notes coming together to create a unique olfactory experience, whether it's the delicate scent of a flower or the earthy undertones of the alpine meadows.
Brigitte Witschi's contributions to the world of perfumery are not only about creating beautiful scents but also about sharing the stories and emotions associated with the Swiss landscapes and experiences that inspire her. Her work stands as a testament to the power of fragrance to evoke memories, feelings, and a sense of place.
