Puredistance
Puredistance is an independent perfume house based in the Netherlands, known for its exclusive collection of high-quality Master Perfumes. Founded by Jan Ewoud Vos, Puredistance offers perfumes, created by renowned perfumers Annie Buzantian, Antoine Lie, Cecile Zarokian, and others. These perfumes are only available as Pure Perfume Extrait, with oil concentrations ranging from 25-32%. Puredistance is committed to craftsmanship, with each fragrance made from top-quality ingredients and assembled by hand. New perfumes are launched every one to two years, ensuring careful development and refinement.
Since its first perfume in 2007, Puredistance has built a loyal following, largely through word-of-mouth. The brand also offers luxury accessories, including perfume spray holders and crystal columns made by Swarovski. The company’s office and design center is located in a historical building in the Netherlands, where a small creative team works under Vos’ guidance to continue refining the brand’s artistic vision.

Antoine Lie doesn’t just craft perfumes – he challenges conventions, builds formulas around unexpected contrasts, and insists on the recognition of perfumery as a true art form. In an interview for PlezuroMag, he reflects on his creative freedom, artistic vision behind iconic perfumes, and the bold choices that have defined his career.
Master Perfumer Nathalie Feisthauer has spent around 40 years shaping the fragrance world, creating perfumes for both niche houses and global brands. From her early breaking into the secretive industry to establishing her own independent studio in Montmartre, her journey is one of passion, talent, and hard work.
Staying exclusive instead of seeking to sell more each year, with a well-curated collection of twelve perfumes and a holistic approach to luxury, is what makes Puredistance truly unique. Jan Ewoud Vos, the founder of this brand, shares his philosophy with Plezuro|Mag readers.
Papilio is the latest release from the house of Puredistance, captivating the hearts of many fragrance aficionados, and rightfully so. The soft and innocent flower accords are masterfully blended with leathery notes, creating a remarkable duality that sets it apart.
