Monsillage is a small exclusive collection of perfumes inspired by past travels, one-of-a-kind experiences, personal impressions and glimpses of grace that creator Isabelle Michaude has experienced. At a very young age, Isabelle became interested in the world of fragrance. It was at the renowned ISIPCA in Versailles, France, that she acquire all the knowledge that would later help her to realize her dream of creating her own line of fragrances. Isabelle then spent two years developing her unique concept before officially launching Monsillage in December 2009.

Using only the finest raw materials from around the world, Isabelle tends personally to each stage of creation to ensure the quality of the brand. The collection now includes six fragrances: Eau Fraïche, Dupont Circle, Aviation Club, Ipanema Posto Nove, Vol 870 YUL-CDG and Eau de Celerí, winner of the the prestigious Art of Olfaction Awards (Artisan category) for 2015.
