Thomas De Monaco Parfums
Founded in 2022, Thomas De Monaco Parfums is a Swiss luxury perfume house celebrated for its unique approach to fine perfumery. Each fragrance is a sensory masterpiece, inspired by artistry, savoir-faire, and the joy of craftsmanship.
For over twenty years, photographer Thomas De Monaco has crafted campaigns for international clients and luxury brands. His work is renowned for its poetic power, brought to life through sensual collages and stylish arrangements.
With fragrance, Thomas De Monaco found a new way to express emotion—wordlessly. That journey began with Raw Gold, his first limited-edition Eau de Parfum, released quietly in December 2020. It didn’t take long for it to gain cult status. Worn by artists, actors, and lovers of rare scents in Hollywood and New York, Raw Gold sold out multiple times in the U.S., its mystique growing with every drop.
The response to Raw Gold sparked something bigger. In 2022, the official launch of Thomas De Monaco Parfums marked the start of a new chapter. In just a few years, the house has found a place on shelves of leading haute parfumeries across the world.
Every perfume is made in Zürich, inside a light-filled studio designed by Gustave Eiffel. It’s more than a workspace—it’s a sanctuary. Here, time slows down, and perfumery is treated as an art form, not a product. Every composition is built from emotion and intuition, not from market trends or algorithms.
Thomas De Monaco Parfums stands for slow perfumery: thoughtful development, uncompromising quality, and a drive to create something truly original. The result? Scents that feel personal. Scents that leave a mark.
At the heart of the house is a quiet tension—between discipline and instinct. Thomas, a visual artist by training, spent years creating tangible things: images, campaigns, identities. But with perfume, he discovered something more poetic. Here, imagination leads. A scent starts as a few words, a mood, a vision—and ends as a story the wearer gets to finish.
This idea shapes everything the house makes. The current collection includes six extrait de parfums, created in close collaboration with perfumer Maurus Bachmann. Each one is born from emotion, curiosity, and the desire to make something lasting. There are no formulas here—only feeling. No trends—just time-honoured craft.
Thomas De Monaco Parfums is a return to what luxury once meant: rarity, patience, and deep care. The craft is the promise. The emotion—that’s the signature.
