Chambre 52: a São Paulo hotel room as starting point

Nicolas Dewitte and the founding of the maison

Chambre 52 was founded in 2024 in Paris by Nicolas Dewitte, perfume developer with over 20 years in luxury, who decided to launch his own author maison after a long career in the development of contemporary niche perfumes. The maison's name refers to the São Paulo hotel room where the founder had the founding idea — a precise place, a precise moment, that became the symbolic origin of the maison's writing. A young niche house but anchored in solid editorial expertise.

The maison's signature scents

The Chambre 52 pantheon brings together Tobacco Memories, Soleil Tonka, Bois Secret and Rose Clandestine — a roster of contemporary signatures whose names compose an intimate narrative of the founding hotel room.

Who is Chambre 52 for, and when to wear it?

Chambre 52 speaks to lovers of contemporary author niche perfumery, who appreciate writings rooted in a strong narrative imagination. The house is unisex.
