# YeYe Parfums - Artisanal Niche Fragrances from California
## The Story of YeYe Parfums - Californian Perfume Artistry
YeYe Parfums emerged from the personal journey of Ernesto Sanchez Bujanda, a Venezuelan industrial engineer who discovered his passion for fragrance while living in New York City. The name "YeYe" comes from his childhood - a term of endearment he and his siblings used. This personal touch reflects the intimate approach that defines the brand.
The brand began in 2007 with YeYe Home Fragrances, before Bujanda expanded his knowledge through years of self-study with natural scent materials. In 2015, he finally launched YeYe Parfums with an initial trio of artisanal fragrances. Together with co-founder Ryan York, he established the company in Santa Barbara, California - "The true American Riviera."
YeYe Parfums' philosophy blends European and American perfumery traditions. This fusion manifests in timeless, enigmatic compositions inspired by California's temperate landscape. Santa Barbara's "eternal spring" filters through their work, creating fragrances that aren't harsh or urban but reflect the harmony of nature thriving year-round.
The brand emphasizes quality and attention to detail, using fine raw materials from around the world. Their approach is influenced by engineering discipline, philosophy, and the histories of established fragrance houses, resulting in compositions that achieve unified wholes through atypical ingredient combinations.
## YeYe Parfums Collections - Handcrafted Masterpieces
YeYe Parfums' collection comprises six exceptional fragrances created between 2015 and 2021. Each scent tells its own story and showcases Bujanda's talent for unusual component combinations.
[Equus No 8](/perfume/yeye-parfums-equus-no8) from 2015 was inspired by a ride through Hawaii's Big Island Mountains with views of Mauna Kea at twilight. Created with 70% natural raw materials and finished with synthetics for a unique dry down, this [woody](/style/woody) fragrance features smoky clove, leather, and wood notes. The composition evolves from spicy top notes to a complex heart of saffron and myrrh.
[Sentiers de Comètes](/perfume/yeye-parfums-sentiers-de-cometes) follows a comet's path across the night sky. This [floral](/style/floral)-oriental creation combines Italian mandarin and bergamot with a rich bouquet of orange blossom and jasmine. The base of ambergris and frankincense leaves a warm, radiant trail.
The newer 2021 creations show Bujanda's evolution: [Golden Aura](/perfume/yeye-parfums-golden-aura) presents creamy osmanthus and patchouli, while [Path To Infinity](/perfume/yeye-parfums-path-to-infinity) offers a spiritual journey through yuzu and hinoki wood. You can test these unique compositions as samples before committing to full sizes.
