Chambre52 Perfumes – The poetic Parisian perfumery

Chambre52: the new poetic Parisian perfumery

A São Paulo hotel room as the starting point

Chambre52 was created in Paris by Nicolas Dewitte, a perfume developer with twenty years of experience in luxury, and launched in November 2024. The name pays tribute to room 52 of a São Paulo hotel where, during a stay in 2022, the founding intuition was born: turning lived scenes into fragrances, with an assumed taste for cinema and storytelling. The faceted glass bottles, transparent and refillable, are designed by Jules Dinand, grandson of designer Pierre Dinand, and the 52 ml size is a nod to the house's name.

The house's signature fragrances

Tobacco Memories was named best niche perfume of the year 2025 (independent young brand category) by the Fragrance Foundation France; it also comes as Tobacco Memories Extrait, a denser version. Around it, Soleil Tonka captures a sunny, lactonic summer, Orencie blends lychee, rose and white musks, Contre ta Peau entwines neroli and orange blossom, Bois Flotté conjures a wild beach, and Cuir à Corps signs a sensual, spicy leather. The universe also extends to scented candles and hair perfumes.

The IFF perfumers behind the creations

Each perfume is composed by an IFF nose. Domitille Michalon Bertier signs Tobacco Memories and Cuir à Corps, Jean-Christophe Hérault composes Soleil Tonka, Caroline Dumur creates Orencie and Contre ta Peau, and Nicolas Beaulieu imagines Bois Flotté.

Who is Chambre52 for, and when to wear it?

The collection is unisex. Contre ta Peau, a luminous floral, and Orencie or Soleil Tonka, enveloping musky scents, suit spring and mid-season; Tobacco Memories, a fruity oriental, and Cuir à Corps, a spicy leathery one, dress autumn and winter; Bois Flotté, a mineral woody scent, works all year round. If you love Chambre52, also explore Maison Crivelli, BDK Parfums and Hellenist, three other contemporary houses from our selection.

Chambre52 at Soleil d'Or, a Lille perfumery since 1953

Founded in 1953 by Jeanne Muyllaert on Lille's Grand'Place, Soleil d'Or is an independent perfumery passed down through generations. Hubert Maës (third generation) made it a reference for niche perfumery; today, his daughters Victorine and Apolline Maës (fourth generation) uphold this standard at 22 rue de la Clef, Lille (59800). The team will guide you through the Chambre52 catalogue.
