Joseph Quartana came to perfumery through fashion. Parfums Quartana is where his own creative vision became the subject. The Les Potions Fatales collection launched the house in 2016 with nine genderless fragrances built around the world's most poisonous flowers: dark, seductive and entirely committed to its own logic. Two blind-judged awards followed: Poppy Soma won The Fragrance Foundation's Perfume Extraordinaire in 2017, Ierofante won the Art & Olfaction Independent Category in 2023.

The poisonous-flower references in Les Potions Fatales give the house its dark romantic language, while the awards for Poppy Soma and Ierofante offer two points of entry into Joseph Quartana's work. Explore the concept alongside the composition. Here, the interest lies in what a flower can suggest as much as the way it smells.
