Kanopé represents a bridge between two worlds.

A passion and love for traditional perfumery with the desire to offer healthier and responsible perfumes.
All our perfumes are created and bottled by hand in our workshop in Montreal.

Scents are linked to our personality and emotions, which is why our fragrances are gender neutral.

Each Kanopé fragrance is crafted around an emotion, a place, or a raw material that resonates with us.

Our collections explore forest trails, flowers at dawn, spices, resins, and botanicals gathered from around the world. Every scent tells a story meant to come alive on your skin.

Kanopé is an artisan natural perfumery based in Montreal, created by Sonia Talec and Brudis Limar III in 2021.

Every fragrance is imagined, blended, and bottled by hand in our workshop. We use only natural essences, essential oils, and absolutes to craft scents that feel personal, expressive, and connected to nature.

Authenticity: making quality and choice of materials a priority

Creativity : the will to constantly innovate and to make you discover a unique and non-gendered perfumery

Respect: for nature and the health of each individual

Love: of perfumery, of scents, of Life.

Kanopé comes from the word canopée, the forest canopy. The canopy represents the highest, most vibrant layer of the forest, where sunlight, life, and diversity meet. It’s a symbol of harmony, protection, and natural balance.

At Kanopé, we chose this name because it reflects our philosophy: elevating natural beauty, embracing authenticity, and creating fragrances that feel alive, connected, and grounded in nature.

A natural perfume is a fragrance born entirely from nature, composed of essential oils, botanical extracts, and resins that carry the soul of plants, woods, and blossoms.

Each creation is hand-blended to reflect the richness and authenticity of the natural world, free from synthetic aroma chemicals.

At Kanopé, we see natural perfumery as an art of connection between people and Nature.

Natural perfumes are crafted exclusively from ingredients found in nature — plant extracts, essential oils, resins, and botanical isolates. They evolve beautifully on the skin, offering depth, nuance, and a scent profile that feels alive. Because they come from real plants, they often feel warmer, softer, and more personal.

Synthetic perfumes, on the other hand, rely on lab-created aroma molecules. These ingredients allow for greater consistency, longer staying power, and access to notes that simply can’t be extracted naturally, like certain musks or oceanic accords. They are widely used in commercial perfumery for their stability and affordability.

At Kanopé, we work solely with natural ingredients. Natural perfumery highlights the true character of each plant, creating fragrances that breathe, evolve, and tell a story.

If you’re curious to explore deeper, our blog breaks down how natural perfumes are made and why they feel so unique.

We create perfumes the way nature intended, using only high-quality, 100% natural ingredients.

Each scent is crafted from real botanicals that evolve beautifully on the skin, offering depth, warmth, and an authentic connection to the natural world.

Our approach is slow, intentional, and artisanal. We prioritize transparency, sustainability, and the quality of our materials, choosing plant extracts, essential oils, and resins that are carefully blended.

Every Kanopé fragrance tells a story: inspired by Nautre. The result is a collection of perfumes that feel alive, distinctive, and deeply personal.

No. Our perfumes are created only with natural ingredients and are completely vegan.

We celebrate botanical perfumery and the richness it brings.

Yes. Our fragrances are crafted only with natural vegetal materials.

Natural perfumes tend to evolve softly on the skin, and their longevity depends on the materials used and on your own skin chemistry.

At Kanopé, all our fragrances are created as eau de parfum, which offers a higher concentration of natural essences. We have refined our blends over time to ensure they last without relying on synthetic fixatives. Applying your perfume to hydrated skin, pulse points, or layering with an unscented cream can also help extend the trail.

We use high-quality natural ingredients, though every skin is unique. Try a patch test on your wrist and wait 24 hours.

If you ever experience a reaction, contact us within 30 days so we can support you with our refund policy.

Start by spraying on a scent card, then try it on your skin. Let the fragrance evolve over a few hours as natural materials reveal themselves gradually.

Your skin chemistry plays an important role in how each note unfolds.

To find your trail, you first have to ask yourself which materials and scents you like:

Do you prefer flowers? Woody scents? Spicy? Fruity? 

Then be curious, we often have the impression that we don't like a particular scent, but associated with another one it may surprise you, and you might even like it, so dare to be adventurous, let yourself be tempted by less known materials and olfactory families, you may be led to make some quite surprising discoveries.
