L'Arc
Where two shores meet in a single scent.
L'Arc emerged in 2013 as a contemporary French fragrance house organized around a singular conceptual vision: the liminal zone where ocean and land converge, where two territories meet and create something distinct from either. The brand works with accomplished perfumers including Mirella Pomina, Julien Rasquinet, and Marc Daniel Heimgartner to create compositions that evoke coastal geography, the smell of sea spray on warm rock, the specific quality of marine air meeting vegetation. Each release is framed as a landscape study—an olfactive observation of a particular meeting point between natural forces—rather than a conventional scent narrative. The house occupies a thoughtful position in niche perfumery, developing a coherent thematic identity across its catalogue that distinguishes it from houses built on luxury signaling or founder personality. L'Arc's compositions tend toward precise, atmospheric profiles that reward sustained attention, functioning more as environments than straightforward linear fragrances.

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.
