About

JANUS is a modern niche perfume house founded in vienna in 2024, created for those who seek quiet luxury, depth, and timeless elegance. The brand stands for discretion rather than excess, for refinement rather than noise — a world where true exclusivity is felt, not announced.

Each JANUS fragrance is composed exclusively from the finest, most luxurious raw materials and personally created by co-founder Noah Schuster. As an autodidact perfumer, his approach is intuitive and uncompromising: every scent is treated as a personal expression, guided by emotion, balance, and an obsession with quality. No formulas are repeated, no shortcuts are taken.

The name JANUS subtly alludes to the Roman god of transitions and duality — a quiet reflection of the brand’s philosophy. Past and future, strength and softness, light and shadow coexist within each composition. These contrasts are not imposed but carefully woven, allowing the fragrances to evolve naturally on the skin.

JANUS is a luxury brand, created for both female and male collectors, connoisseurs, and those who appreciate fragrance as an art form rather than a trend. It speaks to individuals who value subtle presence, longevity, and character — a scent that becomes part of one’s identity instead of overpowering it.

The brand will debut with a single signature fragrance, marking the foundation of the JANUS universe. This initial release sets the tone: precise, confident, and deeply refined. Shortly thereafter, a new collection will follow, expanding the olfactory language of JANUS while remaining true to its core values of elegance, restraint, and timelessness.

JANUS does not chase seasons or mass appeal. It exists beyond immediacy — crafted for those who understand that true luxury is not about abundance, but about intention.
