Senneh

The name of an asymmetrical knot, and of a Kurdish city.

The knot is typical of the rugs woven in Iranian Kurdistan. The city is Sanandaj, which once carried the name.

"Human beings are members of a single body. If one part suffers, the others cannot remain at peace." The line is the Persian poet Saadi's. Long before many modern states rose, Persia already had cities, libraries, schools of thought, astronomers, physicians and philosophers.

Persian and Iranian rose sit under saffron and Persian mint. Benzoin from Sumatra and from Siam lies lower down. Every material in it is natural, living matter in constant transformation that no formula fully controls.

AndréSimon is the work of a single perfumer, Andrea Rusce, who runs the atelier independently from Rubiera, Italy. What began as a personal fascination with fragrance grew into hands-on study of raw materials, chemistry, and formulation, and eventually into full-time composition. The house draws its foundation from the classical French school of perfumery, using that discipline as a starting point rather than a boundary, folding in newer materials and techniques as the work develops.

Every fragrance is built as a living composition, meant to shift the way a mood shifts, rather than settle into one fixed impression. Natural and synthetic materials are sourced internationally for quality, regardless of cost, and each bottle receives a personal inspection before it leaves the atelier. The resulting scents favor atmosphere and feeling over easy classification, asking to be experienced in the moment rather than defined once and for all.
