Our Fragrance Philosophy
Whether you're bathing your roots with shampoo, nourishing your ends with a mask, or taming your tresses with a styling product, Kérastase fragrance is intrinsic to the hair care experience.
Selecting only the finest natural or synthetic ingredients, Kérastase’s master perfumers alchemise distinct notes that emulate scents found in nature. Each Kérastase fragrance is a fusion of olfactory notes: top notes, heart notes, and base notes.
