Independent fragrance house · Since 2018
Made to outlive
the moment.
Testament London creates fragrances as emotional records. Each one begins with a name, a memory or a contradiction worth preserving. The formula comes after the story.
Discover the collectionWhy Testament exists
“It might contain tears of forgiveness and loads of memories.”
Perfume can enter a room before language and remain after everything else has gone. We build each creation around that power: the ability of scent to hold emotion, place and identity without explanation.
Testament is not designed around a passing forecast. It is built through contrast: British restraint and Eastern intensity, refinement and instinct, light and shadow. The result is fragrance with a recognisable point of view.
The beginning
A story first. A formula second.
Testament was founded in 2018 by Bogdan Vlad after more than a decade working across luxury retail, creative direction and brand architecture.
The first fragrances were conceived as chapters rather than products. Sang Noir became an early signature: dark, complex and inseparable from the brand’s belief that the strongest scent is the one that returns as memory.
That method still governs the house. The name and emotional structure are defined first. Perfumers then translate the narrative into material, balance and performance.
“We do not begin by asking what the market is missing. We begin with what a person may never forget.”
Founder & Creative Director
Crafted in France
Time is part of the formula.
Our fragrances are developed and produced in France in controlled batches. Each formula moves through development, stability testing, production and maceration before release.
- Narrative
The emotional direction is written before the fragrance is composed.
- Composition
Materials are selected for character, contrast and performance.
- Discipline
Every release is tested and produced in line with applicable fragrance standards.
The road travelled
Built chapter by chapter.
Each milestone marks a deliberate step: creative independence first, controlled scale second.

A global reference
The ambition: establish Testament London as a recognised independent fragrance house across priority international markets.
One house. Many worlds.
Created between cultures.
Testament draws from the places, rituals and contrasts that shape how people remember: European cities, Middle Eastern scent culture, Asian ceremony, movement, music, desire and home.
The collection is deliberately unbound by gender or occasion. Each fragrance is made for individual interpretation and for the personal history it will eventually carry.
Today, Testament is available through selected niche perfumeries, travel-retail locations and authorised partners across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and North America.
