Mes Bisous

Mes Bisous is an independent niche fragrance house founded in 2022 in Istanbul, Turkey, by Buse Köseoğlu [4]. Despite its French name — which translates as "my kisses" — the company is Turkish rather than French, and its perfumes are assembled in Turkey. The brand builds each scent around a narrative idea, presenting its fragrances in book-shaped, hand-embroidered boxes accompanied by an illustration and a poem.

The company remains active, with fragrance releases and editorial coverage recorded through 2024. Its founding year is given as 2022 by a founder interview and corroborated by the fragrance database Fragrantica; one business-press synthesis instead dates the launch to 2021 [4][6].

Mes Bisous was created by Buse Köseoğlu, who trained and worked as a lawyer before leaving the profession for perfumery. According to the brand, she first encountered scent-making at the age of eight on a trip to Egypt, where she visited an essential-oil atelier and began experimenting with oils her father had bought. The company describes this early experience as the origin of a lifelong interest that she eventually chose to pursue full time, supported by her partner and uncle.

In the founder's account, the move away from law was deliberate rather than incidental: she has said she practised only briefly before deciding it did not match her passion, and that "when you pursue what you're truly passionate about, success is inevitable" [4]. Köseoğlu frames the brand as an attempt to "change the rules of the perfume scene," emphasising artistry and emotional response over conventional marketing [3].

Mes Bisous positions itself as a storytelling fragrance house centred on seduction and self-discovery. The company describes itself as "a brand dedicated to your self-discovery about seduction," and structures each release like a chapter in a novel, with the wearer cast as the protagonist of their own story [2]. Its stated tagline is "Seduction is A Form of Art," reflected in packaging that resembles embroidered books.

The brand's mission, as Köseoğlu describes it, is to create fragrances that "instil people's self-confidence and make them feel even more attractive" [3]. Editorial coverage has summarised the founder's view that perfume is "not about excess or flash, but about closeness," likening a scent's lasting impression to that of a kiss [5]. The house identifies craftsmanship, quality ingredients and complete sensory design — visual as well as olfactory — among its core values, and one editorial introduction describes its intended audience as women over 40 seeking sophisticated, intimate fragrances with an emotional connection [5].

Mes Bisous produces perfumes exclusively, offered in 50 ml and 100 ml sizes alongside a discovery set. Named releases include Out Of Reach, Passion Island, A Wondrous Flight, Tobacco Flirting With Vanilla, Crumble Me Softly, Amberique, Oud Hypnotique, Balle Rouge and One Night Only. Recurring notes across the line include oud, amber, Turkish rose, saffron, tobacco, vanilla, tonka bean and sandalwood — for example, Amberique is built on amber, suede, Turkish rose, sandalwood and resin, while One Night Only combines saffron, pink pepper, suede, smoky woods, vanilla and tonka bean.

Each fragrance is presented in a hand-embroidered box made in Turkey and styled to look like a book, packaged with an illustration and a poem. The brand positions its perfumes in the niche or luxury tier and sells both through its own site and through third-party retailers, including Max Aroma and Venba Fragrance [5].

Mes Bisous has been profiled in editorial fragrance and business outlets rather than recognised through awards. PLEZURO Magazine published a 2024 founder interview titled "Mes Bisous: Where Fragrance Meets Fantasy," and Elevated Classics Magazine ran an introduction to the brand covering its fragrances, packaging and positioning [4][5]. No industry awards are recorded in the available sources.

The brand is active. Its most recent documented activity dates to 2024, including the Passion Island release and continued editorial coverage that year. The company's listed address places its base in Istanbul, Turkey [1]; business-press coverage reports that Köseoğlu relocated to Dubai in 2024, describing the city as the brand's new headquarters, though this relocation rests on lower-confidence search-synthesis sourcing rather than the brand's own statements [5][6]. No Wikipedia entry exists for the company, which is typical for a young independent house.
