The Vagabond Prince: niche perfumery in exile
A house founded by Sergey Borisov and Anastasia Borisova
The Vagabond Prince was founded in 2012 by Sergey Borisov, a Russian-born perfumer who emigrated to Italy, and Anastasia Borisova, a writer and perfume critic. The house cultivates a signature unique in the niche world: poetic narratives that blend Russian imagination, European travels and raw materials of the very highest quality. A discreet, auteur perfumery, acclaimed by discerning collectors the world over.
The house's emblematic trail
The Vagabond Prince pantheon is embodied by Enchanted Forest, the house's signature creation available at Soleil d'Or, a dreamlike trail that won the house its following among niche enthusiasts.
A discreet international signature
The Vagabond Prince takes an almost artisanal approach: few launches, great depth, and a discreet presence in the most demanding selections worldwide. The house follows no trends and stays true to its original vision: telling dreamlike stories through perfume. It is one of the most surprising signatures in contemporary auteur niche perfumery.
Who should wear The Vagabond Prince, and when?
The Vagabond Prince is for collectors of auteur niche perfumery who love dreamlike trails and olfactory storytelling. The house is unisex. Its fruity, floral, musky and powdery creations cover every season. If you like The Vagabond Prince, you will also enjoy exploring Naomi Goodsir, Storie Veneziane and Mendittorosa, three other auteur signatures at Soleil d'Or.
