Pecksniff's
Fine English fragrance since 1983.
Pecksniff's is an independent British fragrance and cosmetics house based in Brighton, founded in 1983. The brand operates from a boutique in Brighton's historic Lanes district and has positioned itself as one of the few remaining truly independent British perfumers - a deliberate counter-point to the consolidation that characterised the industry through the 1990s and 2000s. The house produces fragrances for men and women using traditional perfumery methods, with an emphasis on quality raw materials sourced internationally and blended and bottled in the UK. The range has expanded beyond eau de toilette and eau de cologne to include accompanying body care - bath gels, aftershave balms, body lotions - and home fragrance. Pecksniff's also offers a bespoke service for personal commissions. The brand is cruelty-free and has never tested its products or raw materials on animals. In recent years the company entered financial difficulty and, as of 2024, trade records indicate it is in liquidation, though the retail shop and website continued to operate through the transition period.
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.
