From his roots in Grasse to creating definitive fragrances for Dior, Chloé, Gucci, and Burberry, Michel’s career is nothing short of legendary.
But beyond his formulas, his greatest legacy is his role as a mentor. To quote ISPC President Thierry Wasser: “A master has students.” Michel has guided countless perfumers who are now shining across the globe—including Karine Vinchon Spehner, who gracefully accepted the award on his behalf tonight.
Congratulations, Michel! The world of perfumery owes you so much. Keep inspiring us for the next 20 years!
