John-Paul Welton

France Born 0 Welton London

Conscious, gentleman-coded niche compositions favouring resinous, fig-leaf, and incense-led atmospheres over modern aquatic clarity. Welton's palette leans on Grasse traditions - tinctured naturals, layered woody-balsamic structures, and the slower-evolving silhouettes of classical French perfumery.

About

John-Paul Welton is the founder and in-house perfumer of Welton London, a niche fragrance house operating between London, Paris and Grasse. A self-taught nose with a diplomatic background, Welton built the brand around an idea of fragrance as cultivated conversation - olfactory invitations rather than declarations. He composes alongside his partner Aline Welton; together they oversee every release from the brand's Grasse workshop and have built a catalogue of over nineteen perfumes.
