Nordè, derived from “Nord,” the North, reflects heritage, strength, and a deep sense of belonging. For Tonje Emilie Marhaug Bjørnerud, being from the North is more than geography; it represents resilience, authenticity, and a connection to her roots. Nordè embodies this spirit: a celebration of strength, individuality, and the courage to rise after life’s challenges.
Born from Tonje’s personal journey of transformation, Nordè is more than a fragrance house - it is a statement of empowerment. Tonje’s greatest wish is to inspire others, especially those who have faced difficult times, by showing that it is possible to overcome, rebuild, and flourish. The brand carries this message: that strength, grace, and authenticity can coexist, and that one can be a beacon for others through life’s hardships.
As an international model and entrepreneur, Tonje represents Nordè in its full creative expression. She is available for magazine features, interviews, podcasts, campaigns, catalogue work, commercial collaborations, and public appearances, sharing both the story of the brand and her personal journey as someone who has faced adversity and emerged stronger.
Nordè tells a modern, feminine story -
bold, honest, and forward-looking. While many exciting projects are yet to be revealed, the brand continues to evolve, inspire, and connect with people globally.
At its core, Nordè is about identity, courage, and hope. It is about being a face and voice for those who have endured, showing that it is possible to stand tall, embrace your heritage, and wear your strength as naturally as a signature scent.
