BORN BETWEEN BERLIN & MALLORCA
D:SOL is an independent fragrance house based in Berlin, creating contemporary fragrances inspired by how the Mediterranean feels rather than how it looks.
First introduced in 2020, the collection is developed in collaboration with internationally recognised perfumers using carefully selected ingredients sourced from leading fragrance houses in Grasse, France, and across Europe.
D:SOL is sometimes written as DSOL or without the colon and is pronounced "De-sol." All variations refer to the same fragrance house, operating under the registered trademark D:SOL MMXVI.
ATMOSPHERIC THINKING
Atmosphere is not an object. It is a relationship. We begin with observations — light, landscape, materials, botanicals, human presence, memory and time. By bringing them into new relationships, atmospheric narratives begin to emerge. Together with our perfumers, we translate them into fragrance. Our way of seeing and feeling beyond the obvious.
marie Urban le Febvre
A graduate of ISIPCA in Versailles, where she now teaches as a professor, Marie brings together the heritage of classical French perfumery with the creative freedom of an independent practice. She is the co-founder of Urban Scents and serves as an Osmothécaire and Secretary General of the Osmothèque, the world’s leading archive dedicated to the preservation of perfume heritage.
Michael Nordstrand
Michael Nordstrand is an independent perfumer, teacher and multidisciplinary artist. Trained in perfume creation at Givaudan, ISIPCA and the Grasse Institute of Perfumery, his interdisciplinary approach brings together fragrance, art, history and science. Founder of Mythologist Studio, he received the 2025 Art and Olfaction Award for Bad Lily and the 2024 British Society of Perfumers Award for Patchoulÿ Tartessos.
Delphine Thierry
A graduate of ISIPCA, Delphine spent twelve years as a perfumer at IFF and MANE before founding her independent studio, Inspiration Libre, in 2007. Working from her atelier in the Mediterranean landscape near Grasse, she approaches perfumery with the freedom of an artist and the precision of an artisan. Her work on LÁDANO for D:SOL received an Honorable Mention at the 2026 Art and Olfaction Awards in Athens.
What Goes In Matters
When it comes to ingredients, D:SOL collaborates with leading European fragrance manufacturers – including Accords & Parfums in Grasse, founded by Edmond Roudnitska, the Robertet Group, and Carbonnel in Spain. For D:SOL, integrity means clean formulations, responsible sourcing and working with the finest partners in the fragrance industry.

our Ethics
D:SOL fragrances are vegan and cruelty-free. The formulas are free from phthalates, parabens, sulfates, palm oil, pesticides and genetically modified organisms. Artificial colorants are deliberately avoided — what you see is the natural color of the composition itself. For D:SOL, sustainability is not a promise but a principle.
Artisanal Sophistication
The first collection required more than three years of development. Every step of the process was defined by patience and precision. D:SOL collaborates with independent perfumers, specialized manufacturers and artisans recognized internationally for their expertise.
BOTTLES/CAPS
The heavy hand-polished 75 ml bottles feature D:SOL’s golden metal hexagon — a symbol of the brand’s essence: The sun.The distinctive Bakelite caps are crafted in Spain, combining traditional craftsmanship with precise finishing.
PACKAGING
D:SOL packaging and printed materials are produced in small batches by specialized printing houses in Germany. Carefully selected materials and a minimalist design language define the visual identity of the brand.
THE PERFUMERS
Marie Urban Le Febvre, Michael Nordstrand and Delphine Thierry collaborate with D:SOL as independent perfumers, each contributing their distinct creative signatures to the fragrances of the house.
DENNIS WERNER
D:SOL was founded by creative director Dennis Werner. After more than twenty years working in beauty and luxury advertising across Europe and the United States, he created the brand to realize his own vision of contemporary luxury.
