JAMES PETERSON, BPC FOUNDER

JAMES PETERSON

BPC Founder

Founder of brooklyn perfume company James Peterson remembers the smell of his mother’s Vol de Nuit. He would await in the early-morning hours for her to return from a party and give him a kiss goodnight. Her perfume, mostly worn off, enveloped him in a shroud of natural musk.

Originally from Northern California, James conquered the culinary world as a seven-times James Beard Award-winning chef and food writer. Not one to rest on his laurels, he took up perfumery in his Brooklyn studio in 2011. His experiences in Paris’s finest restaurants and his time studying chemistry at Berkeley only reinforced James’s innate fascination with olfactory pleasure.

Brooklyn Perfume Company

You won’t find anything quite like it.

Today, Brooklyn Perfume Company offers seven eaux de parfum: Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, Green Iris, Ambergris, Magnolia, and Oud. They are eccentric, idiosyncratic, and often animalic, recalling notes of distilled amber jewelry, the sea, flowers, roots, tobacco, and leather.

BPC also produces a line of green and refreshing eaux fraîches. Each is named after the purely natural product it contains: Vetiver, Galbanum, Violet Leaf, and Neroli. Reviving after a shower or at the end of a long day, they are not only fresh and beautiful by themselves, but can be layered to create a fanciful personal scent.
