Perfumer-creator

A perfumer-creator designs and composes fragrances by blending aromatic ingredients to create unique scents that evoke emotions and capture the imagination.

Profession of
perfumer-creator

If the profession of Perfumer-Creator has resisted a clear definition for so long, it is perhaps because, in addition to a highly developed olfactory sense, it requires a certain taste for paradox. Between ancestral tradition and permanent innovation, the know-how of composition is at the same time artisanal, creative and scientific.

To make the raw material disappear behind the emotion like a chef, to compose from tones and notes (on an organ!) like a musician, to let oneself be guided by the genius of creation and, for all that, not to take oneself for an artist, this is the challenge faced by the Perfumer-Creator. The composition requires a complete technical knowledge of the properties of the different materials used and a perfect memorization of their scent. The Perfumer’s expertise consists in transforming an idea or a concept into olfactory images, by assembling natural and synthetic fragrant raw materials in an original, aesthetic and efficient way, whatever the field this creation is meant for.

The hope to inspire others

The Perfumer-Creators are constantly seeking inspiration with the hope to inspire others through their creations. On the lookout for the trend while avoiding being victims of the fashions of their time, they express, through writing, the conception of an imagined olfactory form: the formula, whose realization by the weighing of its various components gives the perfume its material existence. A perfume expresses the personality of its creator.

THE COMPOSITION OF PERFUME IS A WORK OF THE MIND.
