The Glasshouse Fragrances Story

YOU CAN'T GET ENOUGH

We believe that our sense of smell is the most powerful one of all.

This is the world we inhabit and continually create at Glasshouse Fragrances. Complex, layered fine fragrances in many forms that make you feel something. Deeper. Beyond our product and yourself. What we make and where we take you is further than fragrance itself. Close your eyes. Open your imagination.

Fragrance is something we get to experience, like Alice in a sensory wonderland, bringing joy, style, inspiration…

Our sense of smell is entwined with our memories, instantly jolting us back to nostalgic moments of the past. Fragrance is the one aspirational luxury that impacts everyone - no matter their age or dress size. It’s primal, yet precious. Instinctive, yet rarified. It can be comfortingly familiar or excitingly new. It makes us feel fabulous and glamorous, while elevating our spirit and soul. We strive to create a product that is technically flawless, unique, and has an uplifting effect on those who experience it.

Glasshouse Fragrances was founded in 2005. Our provenance begins with individual flair: personal vision is at our very roots. Visionary founder and New Yorker Nicole Eckels fulfilled her destiny as a pioneer when she created a new fragrance company, forged by her childhood obsession with scent and her quest for living a glamorous life.

Our heroine took the Yellow Brick Road all the way to her own personal Oz - the dream of creating affordable yet luxe, divinely sensual fragrances that deliver world class experiences.

From the beginning, Nicole worked like an art director alongside the perfumers to ‘curate’ a range of fragrances ideal for home and body, starting with her beloved green, amber and heady floral notes. Born from a spark of imagination and a small trial batch of candles in her kitchen, Glasshouse Fragrances immediately resonated with customers and has now blossomed into a global brand prized for its exceptional performance, variety and price point. Our devoted customers span Asia, South Africa, the UK, Canada, New Zealand, Japan, our country of origin, Australia, where we are the market leader, and most recently the United States.

PERFECTING THE ART (AND SCIENCE) OF REFINED SCENT THAT LASTS

OUR TECHNIQUE

Craftsmanship is our cornerstone brand value: we source evocative ingredients around the world of the highest quality, then ingeniously craft them into our products. Glasshouse has a cardinal rule: each fragrance scent should elevate you and make you feel something different.

OUR ARTISTRY

Scent is as much art as science: it’s the gracenote of imagination that allows us to proudly add the word ‘fine’ to fragrance. Distinctive, utterly unique concepts give each fragrance line its cult appeal. Our iconic candle jar with a lid has become a beloved signature, charmingly reminiscent of sweet jars from the old corner shop. Limited Editions introduce stylish yet eclectic embossed packaging and exquisitely romantic artwork as the icing on the cake.

TRIED AND TRUE

Our products are blissfully free of parabens, SLS or animal byproducts. Because we believe in beauty inside and out, we never test anything on our friends of the animal world.

A FASHION WEEK FOR YOUR NOSE

The alchemy of olfactory sensory pleasure and constant innovation makes us a fragrance ‘house’ more than a conventional fragrance brand; our collections echo the zeitgeist in the same way beauty and fashion brands do. The bold expression of our core fragrance lines and constantly evolving limited editions bring electric excitement to each highly collectible launch.

Long-lasting, Complex Fragrance

Triple Scented

We always focus on fragrance first, and keep it foremost throughout development. We call this process of optimizing and concentrating fragrance in a product “Triple Scenting,” and it ensures anything that says “Glasshouse” is both uncommonly fine and unusually forceful.

FRAGRANCE IN FULL STEREO

Each of our fragrances expresses itself ever so differently to you, depending on a range of factors like its product form, and your body chemistry and environment. When you layer a scent, by washing with the body bar, spraying eau de parfum and refreshing with hand cream, you create an immersive high fidelity experience where every note and nuance of your favorite fragrance booms and soars in vivid detail.
