About us

A Warsaw perfume house.

Since 2018.

JAN BARBA perfumes and eaux de toilette are available from authorised retailers in 7 countries across 3 continents.

Our fragrances are created by Bartosz Puzio, an internationally recognised perfumer whose work has been praised by perfume critic Luca Turin.

Each fragrance begins with a specific literary, artistic or geographical inspiration. Each composition has its own character, while all share their creator’s distinctive style.

JAN BARBA fragrances are handcrafted in our laboratory near Warsaw, using high-quality ingredients from renowned suppliers, including those in Grasse, the cradle of perfumery in France. Our collection features Eau de Toilette, a concentration chosen with everyday wear in mind.

We create fragrances in pursuit of beautiful combinations and harmonious notes. We want wearing our fragrances to offer a pleasure akin to that of a well-tailored garment or an object crafted with attention to every detail.

We believe that fragrance can transform an ordinary moment and bring entire worlds of sensations back to life through memory.

BARTOSZ PUZIO

Bartosz Puzio is the president, co-founder and perfumer behind JAN BARBA. He learned the art of perfumery through independent study, following his passion for the craft.

He is a member of the British Society of Perfumers. Bartosz has been creating original fragrance compositions since 2018. Beginning with his debut fragrance, Superiore, his work has gained a growing following around the world.

In August 2024, his work received high praise from Luca Turin, the internationally renowned perfume critic:

„JAN BARBA fragrances have a strong family resemblance, and it is a very pretty, smiling face. Perfumer Bart Puzio is self-taught, but Aimé Guerlain must have been looking over his shoulder (...)”.
