THE JOURNEY AND VISION OF OUR FOUNDER QUENTIN HERNANDEZ

Qhue is a New York fragrance house founded by perfumer and creative director Quentin Hernandez, whose work sits at the intersection of scent, design, and emotion. A self-taught perfumer with a background in fashion and technical design, Quentin built Qhue from the belief that fragrance is a form of self expression and a language that connects people to deeper parts of themselves.

Since its debut in 2021, Qhue has become known for its modern compositions, sculptural packaging, and the way each scent carries a story rooted in culture, memory, and place. Quentin’s approach blends artistry with precision, creating fragrances that feel both intimate and architectural, familiar yet unexpected.

In 2025, Quentin was honored as Rising Star Perfumer by Scent Xplore, a recognition of his growing influence within the niche fragrance world. His fragrance Provenance was also nominated by The Art of Olfaction awards, affirming Qhue’s emerging voice in global perfumery.

From extrait perfumes crafted in Europe to hand-cast cement vessels inspired by New York’s concrete landscape, every detail of Qhue reflects Quentin’s devotion to quality, emotion, and design. Qhue is for those who see fragrance as more than scent. It is for the culturally curious, for the storytellers, for anyone seeking a fragrance experience that feels personal, powerful, and beautifully crafted.
