Imprint is a perfume publishing house.
We create stories in scent inspired by iconic works of literature.
Our scents are made for the independently minded to
intrigue and create conversation.
We are tired of perfumes that lack identity beyond the packaging. We create perfumes that are akin to fine wines and first edition books. Each numbered production is limited and collectible, mirroring the rarity of a prized vintage or exclusive literary piece. Seasonal variations in ingredients add depth and complexity to our fragrances, transforming them into collectible works of olfactory art, celebrated for their individuality.
Our scents are not polite and express our love of contradictions. A seductive tension between delicacy and a rawness forges a distinctive olfactory signature that sets us apart. Unconventional and intriguing, our fragrances are designed to evoke curiosity rather than conformity.
Each fragrance unfolds on your skin over time like the novel that inspired it, taking you on a sensory journey. Both express distilled emotions and ideas. They are made to be diffused. No encounter between reader and page or perfume on skin is the same, or even repeatable.
Each leaves a unique imprint.
Imprint is the brainchild of Timothy Han. He started his career as an assistant to John Galliano before moving into fragrance where he established himself as an award-winning perfumer and a leading olfactory artist. Han’s fragrances are known for their unique olfactory DNA, setting him apart in the perfume industry.
His bespoke fragrances are commissioned by clients from The Peninsula hotel to Lady Gaga and European royalty; and his commercial fragrances have been stocked by notoriously discerning retailers as DSM LA, Corso Como, Liberty London, Barneys NY and Lane Crawford.
Han is recognized for pushing the boundaries of scent beyond the bottle and into experiential spaces. Current commissions and collaborations include the heritage British speaker brand KEF and EPIC Games, as well as immersive reality concerts for South by South West (SXSW), the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), Amsterdam’s Centre for Contemporary Art (CBK), La Gaîté Lyrique (Paris), London Fashion Week (LFW), Flowers Gallery, and Browns Fashion.
Imprint is a cumulation of Han’s love of individuality and literature.
