Fascent: 7 clean & vegan perfumes designed for layering
The clean Parisian maison conceived for layering
Fascent was founded in 2023 in Paris by Fanny Fortin Descamps (Guerlain, Diptyque) and Edwina Réthoré (Carven), around an unprecedented contemporary concept: a clean and vegan haute parfumerie maison conceived for layering. The seven Fascent creations are conceived to be combined — Crème Brûlante + Sel à Vie + Bois Vert composes a unique signature trail, different at each layering. A line that inscribes itself in the contemporary clean beauty movement, with formulas freed from controversial ingredients (phthalates, certain musks).
The maison's signature scents
The Fascent pantheon brings together Crème Brûlante, Sel à Vie, Bois Vert and Rose Thon — a roster of clean and vegan creations whose simple names allow infinite combinations.
Who is Fascent for, and when to wear it?
Fascent speaks to lovers of contemporary niche perfumery, who appreciate the clean & vegan posture and the creative freedom of layering. The house is unisex. Creations cover all the families and shine year-round depending on combinations chosen. If you enjoy Fascent, you will also want to explore Matière Première (other natural perfumery), Goutal Paris and the La Closerie des Parfums — three other contemporary author signatures at Soleil d'Or.

Frequently asked questions about Fascent perfumes
What does the name Fascent mean?
Fascent is a contraction of "facets" and "scent". The philosophy: every person is multiple and deserves a perfume that reveals all their facets — according to mood, occasion, season. It is also the promise of a perfumery designed for layering: the 7 perfumes were created to complement and layer freely.
Are Fascent perfumes truly clean?
Yes — Fascent applies a strict clean charter: no preservatives, no endocrine disruptors, no additives or colourants. Formulas are vegan. Alcohol is vegetable-derived. Flacons are in recycled, refillable glass with a glass ampoule refill system. Capots are 3D-printed in bioplastic from corn starch. An eco-conscious approach without compromise on olfactory quality.
How does layering work with Fascent?
All 7 Fascent perfumes were designed by perfumers Marine Mercé and Elise Pierre to layer harmoniously. For example: Crème Brûlante (gourmand) + Red Flag (spicy) for a warm, intense combination. Or Sel à Vie (hesperidic) + Radical Softness (woody) for a fresh, soft signature. There are no rules — that is olfactory freedom.
Which Fascent perfume to start with?
Crème Brûlante is the most iconic — a steaming caramel gourmand that intrigues and seduces immediately. Sel à Vie is the most accessible and universal — a marine, luminous hesperidic. Radical Softness is the softest and most enveloping — a powdery woody. Our discovery box lets you test the collection before choosing.
Are Fascent perfumes unisex?
Yes — all Fascent perfumes are unisex by conviction. Fanny and Edwina refused any gender codification from the start. From Red Flag (intense spicy) to Milky No Way (milky soft woody), through I Fig You (green aromatic) — every perfume belongs to everyone. That is the strength of Fascent: a perfumery without borders.
