OUR APPROACH

We have established four criteria for the choice of our perfumes: smell, effectiveness, quality and best price.

Whether the perfume is natural or synthetic, the smell is our first criterion. Hence the name of our company, ODORA. We differentiate ourselves by the quality of our scents. Our lilac really does smell like lilac. Our linden really smells like linden.

Effectiveness is measured in each of our applications. Even if a scent has great olfactory notes, if it doesn't soak into the fabric during laundry, for example, it will be eliminated from that line. This is why some of our scents will be limited to a certain range of products.

Although they are often more environmentally friendly, natural fragrances are not always the best solution. Synthetic products may in some cases be more accommodating of allergens than some natural ingredients. What often defines the price of a perfume is the quantity, quality and source of essential oils and other natural ingredients other than essential oils used in its manufacture. They can be 100% natural or 100% synthetic as well as many possible combinations between the two.

We have made our choices by favoring a high quality of ingredients used for our products and a reasonable price.

Claudine's inspiration

Welcome to the exciting world of ODORA fragrances!

For over 30 years, I have been a passionate collector of scents. My olfactory hypersensitivity creates memories that move or irritate me, but I am never indifferent to scents.

The idea of creating perfumes came to me one morning in May while walking my dog through the lilacs in bloom. This moment of pleasure was unfortunately spoiled by the smell of commercial laundry detergents coming out of the dryers... and if laundry detergents smelled like lilacs?

This is the beginning of my adventure! With the help of experienced chemists and perfumers with an extraordinary nose, who also share my ideals, I created my very first scent, that of the lilac tree! Deciphering the wonderful chemistry of perfumes now allows me to share with you the emotions created by the scent of my favorite perfumes.

With ODORA, household chores will take on a new meaning in your life! The experience of cleaning and laundering will bring you sweetness and joy.

Inspire!
