Kamila Aubre

Kamila Aubre is a Belgian-based artisan fragrance brand - her ethos is about creating a line of carefully-curated perfumes for the conscious consumer of today. Their ethos is about sustainability and storytelling: botanical perfumes must be savoured like a poem, rooted in the traditional pre-synthetic era of purity with storytelling, creating a unique fusion and eclecticism.

KA fragrances are made of the highest quality natural raw materials and are formulated, blended and packed by hand in their Antwerp based studio. Kamila Aubre does not follow fragrance trends - instead, they are reviving the ritual and beauty of pure fragrances.

Originally established as a skincare brand in 2015, it took four years to design and formulate a small collection of multifaceted and outstanding scents; drawing inspiration from art, literature and a slow pace of living.
