Monsillage

Monsillage is a Canadian niche house founded in 2009 by Isabelle Michaud in Quebec, making it one of the more established independent fragrance brands in the country. Michaud draws on travel, memory, and landscape as primary creative sources, building each collection around journeys real or imagined. The house name itself translates roughly to 'my village,' a nod to the local origins behind its global aspirations. Michaud is trained in perfumery and serves as the house perfumer, giving the work a personal and consistent voice across the catalog. Notable releases include Cœur de Fleur and Désert Royal, which demonstrate the range from delicate florals to warm, resinous compositions. Monsillage distributes internationally through specialty retailers and has built a following in the North American niche market. The house is priced at the middle of the niche tier.
