What Maison Sybarite is known for
Paris-founded fragrance house launched in 2016 by Annabel Dragan and Katia Milo, credited with the first water-based fine fragrances — an alcohol-free oil-in-water formula with 150-nanometer 'ultradrops' and 16% aromatic concentration, made in France.
Maison Sybarite was founded in 2016 by Annabel Dragan and Katia Milo with the aim of building a fine-fragrance line without denatured alcohol, the solvent base used by most conventional perfumes. Its formulas instead use a water-plant emulsion (an oil-in-water base) delivered through microscopic 150-nanometer droplets the brand calls 'ultradrops,' at an aromatic concentration of around 16% intended to sustain scent longevity on skin without the alcohol evaporation that can fill a room with fragrance. The fragrances are made in France, with perfumer Antoine Lie credited on the brand's formulations, and are positioned as alcohol-free, cruelty-free and vegan. The line launched in Europe in 2019 before expanding to the United States. The brand describes its approach as part of a broader clean-beauty shift in fine fragrance, distinguishing itself from traditional eau de parfum and eau de toilette formats built on ethanol.
