1. How would you describe the olfactory style of your compositions? Is there a "common thread" that runs through all your creations?

My style is defined by a quest for accuracy and sincerity. Each fragrance is designed as a unique piece, but all share a desire to provoke an intimate resonance. The common thread is undoubtedly this search for true emotion, this tension between strength and fragility. I like to create sober and solid accords where the essential takes precedence over the ornamental.

2. Which raw materials obsess you, and which ones still resist you?

Resins, woods, and roses have always been with me. They bring me back to my roots, to the memory of travels and exiles. However, certain materials, particularly green or animal notes, continue to challenge me. They require patience, perseverance, and sometimes a step aside to finally tame them.

3. What are your sources of inspiration outside of perfume?

They are multiple: painting, music, photography, literature... it can be a person who whispers to me a material, a sensation, a vibration, an emotion, a memory... But also the light of a landscape, the silence of a place. A perfume can be born from an invisible detail like the atmosphere of a place. For me, creating is translating a sensation that, otherwise, would remain silent.

4. Which perfumers or historical creations do you consider to be essential milestones in your career?

I think of Jacques Guerlain, Germaine Cellier, Edmond Roudnitska, and a few creations by Robert Piguet and Dior that have shaped my imagination. These works have taught me that perfume can be an artistic manifesto as much as an object of seduction.

5. What perfume would you have liked to have created?

Perhaps Bandit, for its transgressive power. Or Eau Sauvage, for its timeless accuracy. These milestones demonstrate that a fragrance can be overwhelming while remaining a lasting part of the collective memory.

6. Does your work seek to express a personal emotion or to provoke a universal emotion?

Both, always. A perfume is born from an intimate emotion, but only takes on meaning when it encounters the intimacy of another skin, the story of an Other. It is this secret and immaterial dialogue that interests me.
