Created to Love and to be Loved
From a scented atelier in Ghent to a second Maison in the heart of Antwerp: MIGLOT Parfums is growing, but remains true to its mission. Five years ago, Kristof Lefebre opened the doors of a small universe — not a classic perfumery, but a Perfume House. A place where scent awakens memories, tells stories and connects people.
Today, MIGLOT celebrates its fifth anniversary with the launch of a special limited edition: Formula 15 Extrait de Parfum – Édition OSAKA . A fragrance as multi-layered as the story behind it, and at the same time an ode to love, craftsmanship and timeless elegance.
Formula 15 — a fragrance to love and to be loved
The fragrance where it all started. Formula 15 was created in silence, as a personal gift from Kristof to his beloved.
“It was never our intention to commercialize this fragrance, but the overwhelming positive response convinced us to share the perfume with the world.”
What started as a private Formula quickly became an icon:
• Best Made in Belgium —
Belgian Beauty Awards 2021
• Best Genderfree Perfume —
Dutch Beauty Awards 2023
Edition OSAKA: Japanese influences & Silent Luxury
Five years later comes a richer, more intense reworking of the fragrance that started it all: Formula 15 Extrait de Parfum – Édition OSAKA.
• Fresh at the top with bergamot, lemon, pear and orange blossom
• A layered heart of pink pepper, jasmine and petitgrain
• A warm, enveloping base of amber, white musk, sandalwood and cedarwood.
A scent that does not impose itself, but melts into you.
Simple complex.
The love for Japan runs like a silent thread through MIGLOT. Warm, minimalist interiors and sober, timeless packaging reflects Kristof's vision of "silent luxury" : refined simplicity that stands out, without having to shout.
The Édition OSAKA is inspired by the city where futurism and tradition come together in harmony. The classic leather label makes way for jacroki , a sustainable material based on cellulose fibres, with a parchment-like texture. Each label is printed by hand using heat and pressure without ink. Each bottle is filled by hand and packaged in a velvet pouch.
This edition is strictly limited. Available from April 24, 2025 , while supplies last via miglot.com, Maison MIGLOT Antwerp and Ghent:
• 50 ml – €108.50
• Travel Spray with leather case 10 ml – €45.50
A Story by OMOTENASHI
Kristof recently started sharing his curiosity in the perfume lab with Victor. They met during a series of workshops that Victor followed with Kristof a few years ago. Despite his financial education, Victor felt that his future lay in the world of fragrances .
Their shared, indomitable curiosity about everything around them, their admiration for craftsmanship (also outside the perfume world) and their conviction that things can really be more human in the perfume world , led to Kristof now training him to become a junior perfumer in the lab.
An ode to mastery that – as in Japan – is sometimes still passed on from generation to generation.
Kristof Lefebre is not a traditional perfumer. Originally trained as a pharmacist, he approaches fragrance with empathy . His credo is clear and human: “Humanizing perfumes.”
Behind every Formula lies an emotional drive. A scent as an invitation to connect.
"Perfume is the key to the most personal and sincere version of someone. It is a privilege to be able to communicate with the world — and people — in this way."
A future that smells of connection
Five years of MIGLOT Parfums is just the beginning. What started as a personal mission of one man, is today a shared dream with Victor.
What started in Ghent, now lives in Antwerp . What started with one fragrance, grew into a collection full of emotions that is bottled with care every day. Minimalistically formulated, bottled in stylish bottles, named with Formula numbers.
Or as Kristof himself puts it:
“We make perfumes for people. No stories about ego or status, but about softness, memories, desire. Perfume as a human experience.
That is MIGLOT.”
