Hello, and welcome to our world of natural perfumes! We are two artisans behind Hangar South, a small Montreal-based fragrance atelier where we handcraft all of our perfumes with love, care, and a passion for nature. As founders, artisans and creators, we wanted to share a bit of our journey and how our deep connection to the art of perfumery has shaped our brand.
Two Artisans, One Vision
At Hangar South, everything begins and ends with us. From sourcing the ingredients to blending and bottling each fragrance, the entire process is a personal, hands-on experience. We believe that perfume should not be mass-produced but crafted with intention and precision. Each bottle we create is designed to offer an experience that goes beyond the scent—it’s a reflection of our artistry, creativity, and connection to nature.
Working from our atelier on Berri Street in Montreal, we have combined our skills and passion to create perfumes that are entirely natural. Our focus is on quality and authenticity, which is why we carefully handpick only the finest ingredients. We believe that using natural essential oils, plant extracts, and raw materials leads to a richer, more complex scent that is also healthier for your skin.
The Power of Natural Ingredients
Our commitment to natural ingredients is at the heart of everything we do. In a world where so many fragrances are filled with synthetic chemicals, we knew from the beginning that we wanted Hangar South to be different. We take pride in creating perfumes that are free from artificial additives and harsh chemicals, offering you a product that is pure and ethically made.
Each scent is carefully crafted to capture the beauty of nature in a bottle. Whether it’s a woodsy, grounding fragrance that evokes the stillness of the forest or a light, floral burst that celebrates the colors of spring, our perfumes are designed to transform and adapt to your skin’s unique chemistry. This gives you a fragrance that feels personal and evolves throughout the day, creating a connection between you and the natural world.
Innovation Meets Tradition
Although we are rooted in the traditional methods of perfumery, we love to experiment and push the boundaries of what natural perfumes can be. Our fragrances are inspired by the vibrant energy of Montreal and its ever-changing seasons. The city’s creative pulse fuels our desire to innovate and continually explore new combinations of scents that surprise and delight.
From the first spark of an idea to the final product, our process is a labor of love. We believe that perfume is an art form, and like any art, it takes time, patience, and a willingness to try new things. Whether it’s discovering a new ingredient or reimagining an old favorite, we are always striving to create something fresh, modern, and distinctly our own.
We also believe in the power of fragrance to enhance wellness. Perfume is not just about smelling good—it’s about feeling good. We design our scents with relaxation, balance, and self-care in mind, helping you to cultivate moments of calm and reflection in your daily life.
Community and Wellness at the Core
For us, Hangar South is more than just a perfume brand. It’s a way to connect with our community and support causes that are close to our hearts. We are proud to be part of the LGBTQ+ community, and we actively collaborate with local artists and creators to foster inclusivity and creativity in everything we do.
Looking Ahead: The Future of Hangar South
As we continue on this journey, we remain dedicated to our core values: craftsmanship, sustainability, and authenticity. Every bottle of Hangar South perfume is a reflection of our passion for the natural world and our commitment to creating products that are both beautiful and ethical.
We’re so grateful for the support we’ve received from our local community and beyond. Whether you’re a long-time perfume enthusiast or just beginning to explore the world of natural fragrances, we invite you to discover the magic of Hangar South. You can learn more about our process and explore our collection at Hangar South. We can’t wait to share our creations with you!

Mika & Dom
