ELLA K Parfums is a luxury fragrance house founded by renowned master perfumer Sonia Constant — one of the few female creators to establish her own perfume maison. Inspired by legendary female explorers like Ella Maillart and Alexandra David-Neel, ELLA K embodies the spirit of boldness, inner journeys, and a love for the unknown.

At its heart, ELLA K celebrates freedom, curiosity, and transformation, blending poetic storytelling with olfactory artistry. Each fragrance is a voyage — a sensory memory of faraway places and personal discoveries, captured in a bottle inspired by the lens of Sonia’s camera.

The brand’s dragonfly emblem, designed by Japanese artist Senjiro Nakata, symbolizes metamorphosis, courage, and emotional depth, reflecting the soul of the collection. ELLA K redefines luxury as a quiet, timeless experience — rich in symbolism, culture, and subtle emotion.

SONIA’s INSPIRATION - The idea has been to evoke a warm breeze sucking up grains of sand honey-burnished by the sun. I worked on this ardent ephemeral flurry which I have interpreted with notes of the bubbly fragrance of imperial sambac jasmine. The sandy texture I created with roasted ground almond and pistachio which I associated with notes of lissom leather which conjures up the hypnotic feeling upon imagining the sensuous shape of the female form when contemplating distant dunes. I worked with extremely mellow, tanned, leather the scent of which mingles delicately with the fragrance of the skin.
