There is a mysterious place, a window to legendary times, where the fragrance itself breathes history. Hellenist - a name that means more than a brand, it is an odyssey of the senses that opens with every note of its creations.

The Hellenist brand, with origins deeply rooted in Greek mythology, transcends the conventions of modern perfumery through a celebration of ancient stories. With artistic refinement, each scented creation - whether recalling the strength of the warrior Achilles or the mystery of the goddess Artemis - reveals an inner world where symbols become scents and myths come to life through a subtle alchemy of essences.

Created from a desire to rediscover the values of the ancient Mediterranean area, Hellenist focuses on excellence, with all the fragrances crafted with a rigorous attention to detail that pays a tribute to the artisans of the past.

Ingredients are carefully selected from the Mediterranean area - from the fresh notes of sacred fig to the dreamy envelopment of Olympian lavender flowers. So each fragrance is an olfactory tapestry, where every thread is knitted in tradition and contemporary inspiration. 

In the world of luxury perfumery, Hellenist stands out for its harmonious blend of contemporary elegance and the mythological richness of ancient Greece. With a portfolio of sophisticated fragrances and candles evoking divine landscapes, each Hellenist creation is a gateway to legendary stories, awakening ancestral memories and complex emotions. 

The Mythology Collection of fragrances is an exploration of the power, grace and symbolism of gods and heroes, while Mythical Landscapes brings home candles that carry the soothing aromas of sacred places.

Perfumes - Mythology Collection

Le Chant d'Achille - Amid eternal battle and heroic brilliance, the fragrance brings with it the strength of the invincible hero of Greek legends.

Imagine the sun burning on the hills of Troy, a salty breeze mixed with the fresh scent of citrus fields. Initial notes of neroli and lemon sparkle like gilded armor, and black pepper bursts through like the fighter's voice in the midst of battle. As the scent evolves, the floral heart reminds you of the compassion in the hero's eyes, a subtle combination of geranium, ylang-ylang and orange blossom. Immortelle brings immortal radiance, and vetiver settles on the base of musk like Achilles' heavy steps on the battlefield.


À l'ombre d'Artémis - In the shadow of the sacred forest, where Artemis hides from mortal eyes, you feel a soothing breeze. 

This is the scent of hunting mornings, where blackcurrant and bergamot lead the way. Lemongrass reminds you of the silent movement of the goddess, and the heart of the fragrance with rose and fig wood evokes the mysterious beauty of her sanctuary. The base is composed of oakmoss, vetiver and sandalwood, an echo of the natural strength that is felt beneath the goddess' bare feet.


Les Bras de Morphée - With your eyes barely open under the cloak of night, the fragrance embraces you like a dreamy, luminous sleep. 

The fragrance opens with sweet notes of peach and heliotrope, reminiscent of a dream in a heavenly orchard. Violet leaves add a powdery, vegetal texture, while the heart of iris and hazelwood suggest the intimacy of a moment of absolute tranquility. The vanilla and tonka in the base are the warmth that envelops you, urging you to lose yourself in dreamscapes.

The Mystical Landscapes candle collection evokes the timeless spirit of Greece and finds its inspiration in the original meaning of the word "perfume" - derived from the Latin expression per fumum, meaning "through smoke", a symbol of the spiritual connection with the gods. The lighting of a Hellenist candle is not just an everyday gesture, but a ritual that transports you into a universe full of myth and mystery, where the divine presence and echoes of ancient heroes still seem to float in the air.

These olfactory creations are imagined as true sensory paintings, each candle celebrating an emblematic Mediterranean ingredient. It is embraced and supported by two other major notes, creating a rich and layered atmosphere that envelops you with unparalleled depth and elegance. Each fragrance becomes a journey into mythical landscapes, giving you an immersive experience where nature and legends blend harmoniously.

Figuier Sacré (Sacred Fig Tree) - A candle that brings an atmosphere of deep reflection, bringing the scent of sacred figs. The scent of this candle, enriched with pink pepper and incense, evokes the serenity of an ancient garden, inviting meditation and peace.

Lavande Olympe (Lavender Olympus) - Inspired by the tranquility of the mountains of Olympus, this candle brings a fresh and soothing scent of lavender, ideal for moments of relaxation and retreat. Berries and mint enrich the sensation of freshness for a complete experience.

Moissons Célestes (Celestial Harvests) - The scents of this candle are reminiscent of a heavenly harvest of grain under the skies of ancient Greece, with notes evoking the richness and abundance of an idyllic landscape, complemented by honey and sandalwood.
