Evody
Parisian niche line from the mother-daughter team behind one of the city's first niche boutiques.
Evody Parfums was established in Paris in 2006 by mother and daughter Régine Droin and Cérine Vasseur, who opened a boutique in the heart of the sixth arrondissement as one of the city's first shops dedicated exclusively to artistic niche perfumery. The name Evody derives from the Evodia tree — known as the tree of a hundred thousand flowers — visible in the Jardins de Bagatelle, a choice that signals the founders' botanical sensibility. Two years after opening the boutique, encouraged by their perfumer friend Aglaé Nicolas, Droin and Vasseur created their own fragrance line: Evody launched its Collection Première in 2008, followed by Collection D'Ailleurs, each collection drawing on the founders' personal memories and their curiosity about distant places. Collaborators including Cécile Zarokian and Anne-Sophie Behaghel have contributed to the range over the years. The house exemplifies a particular type of Parisian niche house — small-scale, personal, and driven by the sensibility of its founders rather than by commercial logic or trend.

DNA over time
Each column is an era. Each colored band shows that family’s share of accord weight across every perfume the house released in that window. Bigger band = the house leaned harder on that family.
