CRAFTSMEN BEHIND THE SCENE OF CUSTOMIZATION
CRAFTSMEN BEHIND THE SCENE OF CUSTOMIZATION
MORE THAN A KNOW-HOW,
A STORY
1995: The company is created by Gilles Dewavrin, who comes from the fashion industry. He launches a first series of candles scented with subtle fragrances and packaged in an unusual aluminum container. A trend-setter on this category, he draws inspiration from flowers, from tea and from the East. An initial selection of ten fragrances is born.
Very quickly, the uniqueness of the fragrances captures the interest of loyal customers: demand comes from both the hotel industry and smaller "niche" boutiques.
During its first few years, the brand keeps a rather low profile to better highlight its clients' names. It is only later that greater visibility will be granted to the brand Hypsoé as such, with new listings in decoration shops, flower shops and concept-stores.
2017: Maison Hypsoé is present throughout the world with its own brand or in customization form.
