Dissident Parfums is an independent perfumery studio born in Paris, founded by a self-taught perfumer with radical convictions. Far from industrial logic and market dictates, each composition is crafted as a singular work: a story to be smelled, an atmosphere to move through, a memory to reconstruct. Dissident’s fragrances explore the intimate territories of emotion and raw materials, guided only by the instinct of a free creator, driven by an obsession with detail and precision of gesture. An authorial perfumery for those seeking a rare and personal signature, rich with meaning. Discover the creations of Dissident Parfums on Scentissime and let yourself be captivated by a perfumery that refuses to resemble anything other than itself.

The brand

Dissident is an independent perfume studio founded in Paris. Each fragrance is born from an intention — a story, an obsession, a place — and is built around memory, image, and atmosphere.

Created by a single perfumer, far from marketing briefs and trend cycles, the compositions explore the contrasts between light and shadow, softness and tension, beauty and instinct.

An auteur perfumery, free and singular, guided by emotion, instinct, and material.

The story

Dissident Parfums is an independent perfume studio founded in Paris by Alexandre Makhloufi, a self-taught perfumer. After an initial career in the cultural and digital worlds, he devoted himself fully to olfactory creation.

Each perfume is born from an intention, an emotion, or a story, then takes shape in his studio through the work of materials, contrasts, and imagination.

Today, the studio develops personal creations and bespoke perfumes for brands, places, and artistic projects, with the same commitment to freedom and singularity.

The founder

Alexandre Makhloufi is the founder and perfumer of Dissident Parfums. Self-taught, he discovered perfumery after an initial career in the cultural and digital worlds, and gradually chose to make it his main field of expression. He founded Dissident in Paris with the desire to create freely, outside of trends and marketing briefs. His approach blends memory, image, material, and atmosphere, with particular attention paid to contrasts and emotion.

Why we chose Dissident perfumes

"Alexandre Makhloufi works alone, in his Paris studio, far from committees and trends. What emerges from it is sensitive, memorable, built on true contrasts: a softness that hides tension, a light that yields to shadow. His perfumes linger, returning to memory long after they have been smelled, with an irresistible desire to return to them. It is auteur perfumery in the noblest and most sincere sense of the term."
