About L’Objet
L’Objet is a New York based luxury design and fragrance brand founded by interior designer Elad Yifrach in 2005, following his earlier career in Beverly Hills working on high end interiors.[4][3] The company originally became known for finely crafted tableware and home accessories, developed with specialized artisans using traditional techniques and premium materials.[3][5] Over roughly two decades, Yifrach has remained founder and creative director, steering the brand from a design house into a broader lifestyle label with fragrance, apothecary and home scent collections.[4][5]
Fragrance joined the portfolio in 2023, when L’Objet introduced its first eaux de parfum line, building on earlier experience with scented candles, incense and home fragrance.[2][3] Early launches such as Oh Mon Dieu, Rose Noire, Côté Maquis, Bois Sauvage and Kerylos were created in collaboration with perfumer Yann Vasnier, with Kerylos signed by Jean-Claude Ellena.[3] In 2025 the brand expanded the range with Blindfold, another Eau de Parfum developed with Vasnier.[4] L’Objet’s perfumes are positioned at a luxury price point and echo the aesthetic of the brand’s decor: detailed, design led compositions with a clear visual and tactile identity.[3][1]
Across both personal and home fragrance, L’Objet emphasizes crafted blends and a polished, design driven presentation rather than mass market volume.[3][6] The line sits at the intersection of interior design and perfumery, often appealing to customers who discover the scents through the brand’s boutiques, tableware and decorative objects before exploring the perfumes themselves.[2][4]

Brand Evolution
L’Objet began as a tableware and home decor brand and only added fine fragrance to its offer nearly two decades later, treating perfume as a natural extension of its crafted objects.[2][3][4] The early eau de parfum line translated existing candle and home scent ideas into skin-wearable form, then expanded with new creations like Blindfold as the brand tested the market.[3][4] Over time, fragrance has shifted from a small complement to decor into a more deliberate category, supported by dedicated boutique space and communication. The trajectory suggests gradual, design controlled growth in scent rather than a rapid, mass rollout.
Quick Verdict
L’Objet is best viewed as a design house that happens to make perfume, not a traditional perfume house that also sells objects. If you value cohesive aesthetics and interior design pedigree as much as the juice itself, the brand is compelling; if you care only about olfactory bang for buck, there are better value options elsewhere.
