Andrea Maack
History & Heritage
The story of Andrea Maack began in the world of contemporary art. Reykjavík born visual artist Andrea Maack first presented scent as an extension of her gallery work, inviting guests to experience art through smell. Her first fragrance was a concept piece rather than a product, proving that perfume could be a true art form. From this spark, a perfume house was created that brought Icelandic creativity to a worldwide audience.
Over the years, Andrea Maack has become a name celebrated by collectors, musicians, and fashion icons. Though its reach is global, the brand remains rooted in its Icelandic origin, drawing on the country’s dramatic contrasts of light and shadow, softness and strength. Each perfume pays tribute to this landscape and invites the wearer to share in its untamed spirit.
Philosophy & Values
At its heart, Andrea Maack believes perfume is a form of personal expression. Each fragrance begins as a vision or memory and becomes a scent that can be worn like a second skin. The house creates perfumes that speak to all identities and allow wearers to tell their own story. Creativity and authenticity guide every step, resulting in perfumes that are timeless and emotionally powerful.
Sustainability is central to the brand’s mission. Each fragrance uses up to eighty nine percent natural ingredients, with over eighty percent certified organic. The base is made with pure Icelandic water and alcohol, creating a direct link to the land that inspires the collection. Even the packaging is completely recyclable, reflecting Andrea Maack’s commitment to responsible and meaningful luxury.
Signature Style & Craftsmanship
Andrea Maack is where modern art and high perfumery meet. The house collaborates with some of the world’s most celebrated perfumers, including Julien Rasquinet, Dominique Ropion, and Céline Barel, who translate Andrea’s abstract ideas into unforgettable perfumes. Each composition feels alive and continues to evolve throughout the day, revealing new layers with every wear.
The bottles are sculptural works in their own right. Designed by Milanese architect Maddalena Casadei, they are inspired by black volcanic stone found in the Icelandic highlands. Sleek and minimal, they feel weighty in the hand and mysterious to the eye. Named one of the most innovative designs by Wallpaper Magazine, the bottle turns every Andrea Maack fragrance into a collectible piece of art.
