Nearly 50 years ago a young man named Chris Tsefalas discovered a yearning within himself to learn and experience the mystique of the great perfumers of the world. Chris sought out one of the greatest perfumers in modern history, Dr. Walter Lauchner of Cologne, Germany and president of 4711, the largest perfume house in the world. Chris served under his mentor’s tutelage for five years and gained a wealth of knowledge and respect for his chosen path of perfumery.

      After his tenure with Dr. Lauchner, Chris then spent nearly a half-decade traveling the globe, experiencing the wonders and splendor of perfume-making… discovering magnificent essences, the ingredients of heavenly fragrances: flowers, spices and oils.

      After 40 years of study and training, Chris was tested, then anointed as one of the world’s 200 “Noses”. Now, he is recognized as one of 26 by the Council of Six. To qualify as a Nose, the prospective candidate must be able to recant all of the elements that comprises the essential elements within a fragrance before the sprayed droplets reach the floor.

      After years of study and traveling with the greatest perfumers of our times, Chris wanted to open his own perfume house with the desire of making his creation a recognized world leader by assembling the greatest collection of “real” fragrances… then, share his passion with others.

      Cost and rarity is only secondary to experiencing The Perfume House, we distinctly enjoy sharing the exploration, the depth, and history… discovering the fragrance itself. Fragrances are purveyors of remembrances spanning a lifetime, and it is our hope and desire to inspire all who visit us.
