Novellista

Novellista is a French niche house founded around 2016 with a literary concept at its center: each fragrance takes a classic or canonical novel as its departure point and attempts to render the atmosphere, characters, or emotional world of that book in scent. The collection draws on titles from European and world literature, creating a catalog that functions as a perfumed library rather than a conventional product range. The brand targets readers and fragrance enthusiasts who find narrative framing adds depth to the wearing experience. Without credited perfumers listed in most reference sources, the compositions are understood through their thematic briefs rather than the personalities behind them. Novellista distributes through specialist niche retailers and positions itself at the niche tier for pricing. The literary premise is executed with genuine commitment to art direction and packaging, which reflects the source texts in design as well as concept.
