TEKES is a queer-owned fragrance house based in New York, started by close friends Yarin and Sean, who romanticize making perfume the old way while building something distinctly modern. The fragrances are formulated by independent perfumers in Paris and made in small batches at a family-run atelier in Grasse. Each one is inspired by encounters that shift perspective, by contrasts that shape identity, by quiet details that demand a second look. A young house, that puts design and emotion first.
