Estelle St Clare’s Parfumery

Estelle St Clare was shocked when she found out that perfume was tested on animals and was determined to make amends. She would only offer the very best human-tested perfume to her woodland friends; if they were safe for her mother, they would be safe for her animals. And boy, did word spread quickly. Estelle St Clare’s Parfum De Bois soon become known across the land for its personalised service and old-world charm. The scents themselves delicate, subtle, but complex in their character. She wasn’t quite sure how she’d explain her mother’s dwindling perfume supply to her but the bunnies had never smelled better, and for that, it was worth it.

Artist notes: Estelle St Clare was the result of my partner's deep-dive into Chanel. I've long been fascinated with entrepreneurship and kindness to animals so it seems only fitting that Estelle be part of that story.
