Atelier LÉTO Haute Parfumerie

Helmed by self-taught perfumer Lena Loginova, who is also the nose behind all fragrances, LÉTO is a niche brand founded in South London and now based in Hastings, thus becoming the first niche perfume house of this historic town. Besides perfumery, Lena is a fashion designer with two decades of professional experience and a ceramicist with profound interest in folklore, archaeology, Gaelic languages and environmental art, all of which provide a rich palette of references in her work.

LÉTO is an olfactory journey through the British Isles, field-recordings with scent, contemporary lore highlighting the environmental impact of mankind on landscape.

“The fragrances are blended in small limited batches often using unusual ingredients collected during the travels and each bottle is designed and handcrafted in Hastings. LÉTO embraces imperfections and contemplative, artisanal approach when creating perfume, documenting what I find - both ugly and good.

Deeply committed to creating scents with minimal environmental impact, using only cruelty-free and vegan ingredients, free from harmful plastics - LÉTO fragrances are a blend of natural essential oils, non-toxic synthetics and my signature tinctures made with locally sourced ingredients.

All fragrances are priced per ingredient and therefore may vary scent to scent and batch to batch. All ingredients are openly listed as I design, blend, compound, bottle and box the perfumes by hand in my Hastings studio, creating a fully transparent and fairly made product.”
