Phaedon was founded in the mid-2000s by two Parisian aesthetes, both avid travellers and enthusiasts of ancient cultures. The house launched its first fragrances in 2011, then came under the artistic direction of Pierre Guillaume in the early 2010s. He acquired the brand in 2013, relaunched it and developed a more concentrated collection, made in France.
Phaedon cultivates a “baroque naturalism” where travel memories, the Mediterranean, Asia, botany and ancient motifs come together. Its fragrances are composed by guest perfumers under the direction of Pierre Guillaume, then made in his French workshops. The visual universe combines Assyrian griffins, botanical plates, travel journals and apothecary-inspired bottles.
Right now at Fragsplit, 1 Phaedon fragrance is available as a 1 to 10 ml decant: Sable et Soleil.
