The fragrance itself always comes first. Every composition is developed in-house with a focus on balance, texture and how the scent evolves on skin over time. We care more about the experience of wearing a fragrance than following trends or creating unnecessary spectacle.
Each fragrance is developed and refined in small batches with close attention to materials, structure and wearability. We believe good perfumery comes from patience, curiosity and careful composition rather than excess.
INDEPENDENT PERFUMERY MANCHESTER
I make every Sentir fragrance myself, from sourcing the materials to the final blend. I study each ingredient on its own first: how it opens, how long it lasts, how it behaves with everything around it. The kind of scent people stop you to ask about.
Michael Gibson - Perfumer
Founders Story
I’m Michael, founder and perfumer behind Sentir. My fascination with fragrance began with my grandad’s bottle of Eau Sauvage and grew into an obsession with understanding how scent is created. Every fragrance I make is developed by me from start to finish — from sourcing materials to building the final formula. I create fragrances for people who want something more personal, expressive and memorable than the mainstream.
