PERFUMER: Celine Barel

“My fragrances are an invitation to the voyage — enter through the looking glass.”

Celine grew up surrounded by the heady aromas of Southern France, and was impassioned by fragrance since childhood. Engaging with blind children at her primary school, she turned to the olfactory world to share experiences and stimulate play. Morocco was another childhood home, and here Celine developed her taste for adventure, tribal cultures and exoticism. These early influences led her to “find beauty in harmonious imperfection” and the world of dreams, imagination and stories.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

MODERN LUXURY SCENTS TO INSPIRE CONNECTION

What does ETTO mean?

The word ETTO is born from Ethics and Motto — a quiet echo of the beliefs we carry with us, constant and unshakable, no matter where we stand in life. It also gestures toward the phrase Each To Their Own — a reverence for individuality, self-expression, and the freedom to feel deeply and define beauty on one’s own terms.

At Maison d’Etto, they don’t impose meaning. They offer a sensorial framework — a series of olfactive portraits — through which you are invited to explore your own truths.

Fragrance becomes a form of inner dialogue, a return to self, and a space for memory, movement, and discovery.

Brianna Lipovsky is the Founder of Maison d’Etto. A personal desire to have a business of her own as well as a creative outlet led to Maison d’Etto. Its development began with two of Brianna’s greatest passions: horses and scent. Brianna was intrigued by both as a young girl. Her first scent memory was riding a lawn mower with her father — the intoxicating scent of freshly cut grass, mixed with gasoline and the sharp metallic notes of the blades. Her further olfactive exposure took on a life of its own at the age of five when she rode her first horse and her life was irrevocably changed. From that point forward, her days were spent at the stables, caring for, cleaning, training and competing horses. With olfactive territories being developed in the first decade of life it’s no surprise that horses and nature serve as the pillars of inspiration for Maison d’Etto. Brianna began Maison d'Etto as a way of merging these two loves. The power of scent as a means of memory — of storytelling — has remained a constant source of curiosity and meaning throughout her life. When Brianna is not balancing family-life, launching her own brand, or running her own consulting agency, she can be found on a horse climbing her way up to the Grand Prix Level of Dressage – a discipline she describes as living, breathing art.
