More about eSENSielle
French perfumers use the term ‘l'essence’ when talking about fragrance. They call the senses ‘les sens’, the most powerful of which is the sense of smell. And ‘L'Essentiel’ is the essence, what is important in life. eSENSielle playfully combines these aspects and underlines the message with the slogan: ‘connect to your senses’. Going through life with your senses alert, focusing on the essentials in an increasingly fast-paced and virtualised world and feeling a vibrant zest for life – that is what the fragrances from the small Hamburg-based perfume studio stand for.
eSENSielle was founded by Heike Jeannette Hegmann, who worked for many years in perfume creation for renowned perfume houses. She started her professional career at the New York perfume house International Flavours & Fragrances, where she discovered her love of fragrance. While working as a creative consultant for large, internationally oriented cosmetics companies, she had the good fortune to work with top-class perfumers. Through intensive smell training, she developed her sense of smell and acquired extensive knowledge of perfume raw materials, fragrance compositions and the effect of fragrances on people.
Deeply connected to nature since childhood, she is particularly interested in the scents of precious and rare natural essences. In her seminars and creative workshops, she passionately shares her knowledge and brings the fascination of the art of perfumery to life. Heike Hegmann regularly designs and leads sensory journeys with a focus on scent. Her fragrance safaris take participants to the perfume plants of India, Sri Lanka, southern France and Sicily, where they can experience the world's most beautiful fragrances in their original form with all their senses. During her travels, Heike Hegmann's desire to create her own small, exclusive brand, which captures the essence of nature with the help of the latest perfume art, grew and matured.
