OUR SENSES AND THE ESSENCE
Live and make together in peace
A philosophy, a state of being, a word, Peace, that’s what inspired the journey. Attached to this invaluable cause, Vivre Ensemble was born from the idea of designing a fragrance to spread a message of Peace, the scent of harmony and to breathe the same air.
It was on December 8, 2017 that 193 countries of the United Nations General Assembly (UN) unanimously adopted resolution n ° 72/130, thus creating the International Day of Living Together (JIVEP).
Supported by the international Non-Governmental Organization AISA NGO, whose Honorary President is Sheikh Khaled Bentounes, this day aims to raise awareness and mobilize the efforts of the international community in favor of peace, education, inclusion, tolerance, understanding and solidarity.
This breath of peace has manifested itself and materialized through a wonderful collaboration.
Indeed, Vivre Ensemble perfumes are marketed by the company Sens & Essence, which is the official sponsor of JIVEP. By purchasing one of our iconic fragrances, you will help fund the International Day of Living Together in Peace, celebrated on May 16 of each year.
Fine connoisseurs of perfumes, men and women from all walks of life, wishing for a new and better world for all, carried by talent, humility and sincerity, we have united in the aim of offering new impetus for Peace.

By honoring the heritage of fine craftsmanship, we wanted to share with you our passion and the emotion contained in these fragrances.
In a desire for uniqueness, our innovation and originality are based on the natural composition of our perfumes. Indeed, they are 100% made from natural essence.
We only wanted to use raw materials of great value, natural, unprocessed and taken from nature with the greatest respect for Man and for the Planet, because the notion of Living Together consists in taking care of one’s own, but it also subsists through the preservation of our Earth.
Also, the desire for a 100% natural and unisex perfume underlined this desire for unity and freedom from all difference in order to return to the common essential, the essence of being human.
In addition, our enchanting fragrances also reveal the heritage of the encounter between East and West. Through the masterful use of a repertoire of fine, special and refined ingredients such as Oud but, also, through the melodious juxtaposition of these rich and varied raw materials, the fusion of East with West is perfectly achieved.
Our ambition aimed at the most precious goal: using the gift of nature to work towards Peace. Believe it, this is not a daydream but a heartfelt goal in our daily lives that we make come true with you.
Our fragrances bear a sophisticated and meaningful signature, attesting to the expertise, integrity and quality that have been devoted to them. The wake of these bouquets of pure essences will awaken your senses, make your mind run wild and shape your fondest memories.
ART AND KNOW-HOW
The artisans of living together
Passionate about perfumes above all, our first scent attempts were promising, motivating and enriching. Located in the heights of Provence, in Grasse, World Capital of Perfume and listed as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by Unesco, we could not have asked for better inspiration to be instilled in us.
Eager to create fragrances with originality, human and eco-responsible values, our Vivre Ensemble fragrances are based on a long-term work of two years during which many talented personalities have worked to create our beautiful and noble scented signature, entirely natural, mixing art and material with poetry.

It is a gourmet and elegant olfactory palette that offered itself to us by ranging from the citrus notes of bitter orange, to the spicy ones of patchouli, but also the woods of sandalwood and rosewood, to finish with floral touches.

Sophie Chatelier
HERBALIST
FLORAL INTERPRETER
DERVISH DANCER
Sophie Chatelier, dervish dancer, herbalist and floral performer, delighted us with her collaboration by joining the Vivre Ensemble adventure. Lover of nature and plants, and trained in Bach flowers, she offers products that correspond to the ailments of our society and succeeds in bringing us into a secret universe filled with plants of all kinds, always organic and wild. Like an ally of Vivre Ensemble Parfums in its field, its preparations, herbal teas, floral waters and other beauty balms made from aromatic plants essentially harvested in the hinterland and 100% natural, are in perfect harmony with our human and green approach. It was therefore quite natural that she accepted to be part of our scent adventure, touched as much by the message of Peace conveyed as by the high quality of our Vivre Ensemble fragrances. Lastly, as she has been a dervish dancer for several years, she inspired us for our launch video and kindly gave us the pleasure of dancing for Vivre Ensemble.
