ånd is the visionary endeavor conceived by the esteemed Perfumer and Nose, Simon Constantine. Simon’s unparalleled expertise in crafting perfumes spans over a decade, during which he gained recognition for his exceptional creations for the globally renowned beauty giant, Lush Cosmetics. In his capacity as head buyer and perfumer for Lush, Simon initiated the establishment of Gorilla Perfumes in 2010. Through this venture, he fearlessly crafted fragrances that defied the norm and provided an alternative to the mainstream perfumes flooding the market.

Building upon this illustrious foundation, the inception of ånd marks a momentous leap forward. This extraordinary brand is driven by a core ethos of supporting communities whose voices are in dire need of amplification, especially during this era of ecological and climate crisis. Each fragrance created by ånd holds within its essence a profound connection to real individuals and places on our planet. These locales, although sometimes distant, threatened, or otherwise inaccessible, hold immeasurable value to humanity and are deeply intertwined with the challenges we face collectively.

The philosophy behind ånd is to foster a world where overpowering scents are replaced with fragrances that transcend superficiality. Through this noble mission, we strive to shake off the constraints imposed by the confines of mass-produced perfumes and embrace a more authentic olfactory experience. With each waft of an ånd fragrance, we invite you to embark on a journey that transcends borders, connects cultures, and unites us in our common goal of restoring harmony to our world.

Designer ånd fragrances proudly boasts an impressive collection of 8 perfumes, each carefully crafted to captivate the senses and ignite emotions. As a relatively new fragrance brand, our earliest edition was introduced in 2020, with the most recent addition gracing our collection in 2023. Guiding the creative process behind these exquisite fragrances is none other than the visionary Nose, Simon Constantine. With his extraordinary talent and passion, Simon Constantine infuses each composition with a distinctive and alluring character that sets ånd apart from the rest.

Join us in our noble pursuit as we embark on a transformative mission to “unstink” the world. Together, let us forge a fragrant path towards a future that celebrates diversity, cherishes our planet’s irreplaceable treasures, and ushers in an era of conscientious craftsmanship.
