The world of the Maison
La Bastide
des Parfums
Four complementary expressions, guided by the same devotion to nature, sensitivity and creation.
The creation atelier
Every bespoke perfume is developed exclusively in the presence of its future owner, in the atelier dedicated to the project. The website introduces the Maison’s universe; acquiring this creation remains inseparable from the experience lived on site.
The Classic Collection
Six founding perfumes are intended for the Maison’s future boutiques. These addresses will open soon in Paris, London, New York, São Paulo, Miami, Seoul, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore and Dubai, and will also welcome clients to by-appointment creation ateliers.
Cosmetics
The natural, certified-organic and vegan skincare line will also be offered in these future boutiques alongside the Classic Collection.
The quintessence of intimacy
Creating the perfume
that reflects who you are.
Maison Serge Khalifé opens a moment apart, devoted to discovering what touches you most deeply and shapes your sensibility.
Every composition is born from an encounter and reveals the richness and complexity of nature’s most beautiful fragrances. Memories, places, gestures and emotions become a personal olfactory architecture — a subtle, sensitive and memorable presence.
Born in1762
A private olfactory estate
Live within nature.
Rediscover your senses.
Between Saint-Tropez and Cannes, the Bastide welcomes only those who come to create their bespoke perfume, at the heart of one of Europe’s largest preserved forests.
The park, the woodland, the Provençal countryside and the surrounding landscapes offer a rare space in which to slow down. Walking, breathing, observing and smelling reconnect you with the earth, awaken olfactory memory and reveal the fragrances that stir an emotion.
For those who wish to take more time, a stay of several days may be included in the creation package. The Bastide is an estate entirely dedicated to perfumery and welcomes clients engaged in their bespoke creation with complete confidentiality.

Explore the complete processThe olfactory conversation
An intimate exchange about your travels, your family story, the flowers, materials and rituals that have left their mark on your memory.
The table of materials
Through direct contact with essences and botanicals, you rediscover your olfactory sensitivity and identify the fragrances that awaken a genuine emotion.
The composition
Serge Khalifé translates these sensations into a singular formula, created and refined with you until it reaches its most personal balance.
Your perfume
The creation becomes your intimate signature. The Maison can preserve it, reinterpret it and accompany its evolution over time.
The crystal flacon
Giving presence
to your perfume.
Every intimate composition is housed in a crystal flacon chosen as a personal object: a precious form created to preserve your olfactory signature.
Creation is already here
Interpreting what already exists.
Everything is already here. Sublime nature was created with love to bring us happiness. The Maison honours the Creator of this beauty; we receive what is entrusted to us with gratitude and become its attentive interpreters.
True luxury and true elegance are expressed through faithfulness to the highest values: humility before what precedes us, authenticity of gesture, and the respect owed to the Creator, the true Author of all that has been entrusted to us.
This approach is profoundly spiritual. It is lived in simplicity, with an attentive and joyful gaze upon each moment. Smelling a flower, breathing in a woodland, welcoming a light or a season becomes a way of recognising the generosity of Creation and finding joy in all that it offers at its most beautiful.
For thousands of years, humankind has distilled and extracted what flowers, plants, woods, seeds and resins hold within them. These gestures reveal the infinite biological and molecular complexity of life while honouring its original work. To compose a perfume is to listen to this creation, then bring its expressions together so that they resonate with a singular story.
Every perfume is composed exclusively of certified-organic essences and raw materials. Its alcohol-free composition reveals the presence, richness and evolution of the materials on the skin.

Serge Khalifé
A journey between
intuition and exacting standards.
French-Lebanese Serge Khalifé entered the world of haute perfumery in 1989. This decisive encounter with bespoke olfactory creation revealed the power of a perfume conceived around one person’s sensibility, presence and story.
His career as a technology entrepreneur later nurtured a singular approach: bringing together precision and intuition, mastery and freedom. At the Bastide, he now composes intimate perfumes in which Mediterranean roots, memory and the raw beauty of natural essences find their most personal expression.
“The truest perfume is the one that gives rise to an emotion before words can reach it.”Read Serge Khalifé’s story
