Mavemade

Mavemade is a German niche fragrance house founded in 2021, working with French perfumer Philippine Courtière to produce compositions that place rigorous material investigation at the center of the creative process. The house's name suggests something simultaneously made and conceptual — craft that knows it is craft — and the fragrances bear this out: unusual accord choices, careful structure, and an interest in how specific ingredients interact under different conditions. Courtière's training within the French perfumery tradition brings academic rigor to Mavemade's German industrial precision, resulting in compositions that feel both technically accomplished and personally motivated. The 2021 founding places Mavemade in a cohort of post-pandemic niche launches that reconsidered what fragrance was for and who it was addressing, often arriving at smaller, more considered outputs rather than catalogue breadth. For collectors following emerging European niche beyond the established French and Italian centers, Mavemade represents a credible German voice invested in quality of creation rather than scale of distribution.
