# Thomas de Monaco Perfumes - Swiss Niche Fragrances
## The Story of Thomas de Monaco - Swiss Perfume Artistry
Thomas de Monaco Parfums began with a personal story. Swiss Creative Director and photographer Thomas De Monaco created his first fragrance [Raw Gold](/perfume/thomas-de-monaco-raw-gold) in 2019 as a gift for friends. The overwhelming response led to Raw Gold's public launch in December 2020 as a limited edition of 1,400 bottles.
The official perfume house launched in spring 2022. Thomas brought over two decades of experience working with luxury brands like Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, and Hermès. He established his studio in a historic building designed by Gustave Eiffel in Zürich.
The brand follows a unique philosophy: fragrances are intimate works of art meant to evoke emotions. Thomas' background as a photographer shapes his approach - he starts with an image the scent should convey. This "slow art of perfumery" sets Thomas de Monaco apart from conventional brands.
In 2024, the brand introduced an innovative financing model where fans can become co-owners. This independence allows them to create uncompromising high-quality niche fragrances that you can test as samples through Parfinity before committing to full sizes.
