The Story of Paul Sebastian
Paul Sebastian was founded in 1979 in New Jersey by friends Leonard Paul Cuozzo and Alan Sebastian Greco. Cuozzo lived near the International Flavors and Fragrances plant, while Greco worked in national sales. Together they launched PS Fine Cologne.
The first bottles went into just three New Jersey men’s clothing stores. Demand grew so quickly that distribution passed 300 stores within two years, all without conventional advertising. Fine porcelain gifts with purchase became a trademark.
VSOP followed in the early 1980s, and Design, the first women’s fragrance, arrived in 1985. The label went international in 1989, then joined French Fragrances in the late 1990s, later part of Elizabeth Arden, which keeps PS Fine Cologne in production.

Paul Sebastian Cologne FAQ
Answers to common questions about scent profile, longevity, sizes and the history behind the label.
PS Fine Cologne is an aromatic, soft oriental scent built on lavender, sage and jasmine, with rose, amber, musk and oakmoss underneath. It reads clean, floral and warm rather than sporty.
As an eau de cologne, it typically lasts around four to six hours, though many reviewers report longer wear. Applying it to pulse points such as wrists and neck helps.
It suits both daytime and evening, and works especially well in autumn, winter and early spring. The warm musky base also makes it a dependable pick for dinners and formal occasions.
Leonard Paul Cuozzo and Alan Sebastian Greco, two friends from New Jersey, founded the house in 1979. Their first release was Paul Sebastian Fine Cologne.
PS Fine Cologne was created as a men’s fragrance, but its floral, musky character appeals to many women too. The house also makes Design, a women’s perfume launched in 1985.
Yes. The familiar, crowd-friendly profile and affordable price suit birthdays, holidays and Father’s Day. Splash and spray formats and aftershave pairings make gifting simple.
