About Us
Dossier was founded with the goal of redefining contemporary French perfumery by emphasizing approachability, fairness, and clarity. The brand was created to break down barriers traditionally associated with the fragrance industry, where high price points and exclusivity often limited access. Dossier’s guiding principle is that quality fragrances, crafted with care and integrity, should be available to everyone without sacrificing sophistication or ethical responsibility. This philosophy shapes all aspects of the company, from ingredient selection and formulation to pricing and the way customers are engaged throughout their journey.
At the heart of Dossier is its Creative Lab, which bridges the expertise of master perfumers in Grasse, France, with the innovative perspective of a creative team in New York City. Each scent is formulated in Grasse to leverage centuries of craftsmanship, premium ingredients, and meticulous technical processes, while the New York team contributes cultural insight, trend awareness, and customer-focused design. This collaboration allows Dossier to create fragrances that feel both classic and contemporary, appealing to diverse tastes while maintaining a high standard of quality.
Recognition for Dossier’s approach has come through both industry accolades and workplace achievements. Between 2023 and 2025, the brand was named among the fastest-growing companies in consumer goods, reflecting its capacity to combine innovation with reliability. In 2025, Dossier earned Great Place to Work certification, showcasing its dedication to cultivating an inclusive and supportive work environment. The Better Business Bureau also awarded the company an A+ rating, underscoring its commitment to ethical practices and customer satisfaction.
Ethical considerations are central to every decision Dossier makes. All products are vegan, cruelty-free, and free from animal testing, reflecting the belief that luxury should never compromise moral values. Collections are designed to meet a wide range of customer preferences. Dossier Impressions offers designer-inspired fragrances made in France at accessible prices, while Dossier Originals features exclusive, gender-neutral scents developed in-house to deliver niche-quality experiences without excessive markups. Dossier Home translates these fragrance experiences into candles and diffusers, bringing the essence of perfume into living spaces.
Transparency, inclusivity, and craftsmanship remain core to the brand’s operations. Customers are provided with detailed information on ingredients, sourcing, and production, empowering informed choices. Pricing is straightforward, avoiding unnecessary prestige markups while ensuring high-quality formulations. All products comply with U.S. and E.U. safety standards and reflect a commitment to sustainability and eco-conscious production. Inclusivity encourages exploration of scents without restriction or gender assumptions, allowing individuals to engage with fragrance freely and confidently.
Dossier has also reimagined the fragrance purchasing experience by offering a flexible, risk-free approach. Customers can explore multiple scents at their own pace, supported by returns, exchanges, and trial programs designed to reduce pressure and enhance enjoyment. From its Brooklyn beginnings in 2019 to expanding into Manhattan and developing a dedicated home fragrance line, Dossier has grown into a global brand. Its New York City boutique on Elizabeth Street offers an immersive experience, where enthusiasts can explore scents, receive expert guidance, and engage with the brand directly.
Today, Dossier embodies a modern perfume house grounded in French tradition, driven by ethics, transparency, and innovation. Its story reflects a commitment to redefining luxury, proving that high-quality, thoughtful fragrances can be accessible, meaningful, and deeply personal.
