PERNOIRE is a Swiss niche perfume house founded in Basel in 2020 by longtime friends Robin Dünner and Nico Mannino. Their conviction is that fragrance can reveal different sides of who we are.

The brand grew from the contrast between its founders. Nico brings an analytical mindset shaped by his background in economics and finance, while Robin leads the creative direction with a passion for storytelling, visual expression and community. Together, they combine structure and intuition to create perfumes with a strong sense of identity.

Each Pernoire fragrance explores a different facet of personality, reflecting moods, moments and personal expressions. Developed in Switzerland together with perfumer Andreas Wilhelm, the creations combine meticulous craftsmanship with a contemporary approach to fragrance.

Pernoire creates perfumes with presence: scents that do not disappear into the background, but become part of the way we express ourselves.
