BARUTI perfumes is an independent perfume house from The Netherlands that is making a splash among fragrance lovers with its unique creations. Founded by self-taught perfumer Spyros Drosopoulos, the brand has become renowned for its strong personal character and combining novelty with wearability.

The name BARUTI means “gunpowder” in Greek. The name fits the brand very well because each BARUTI perfume is like a little explosion.
