How did you get into scents? I only found my love for fragrances in the last year, but it’s not like I was dead to them for the 33 years of my life. All the men in my family smelled good, as did I, (we all wore some form Yves Saint Laurent, & my signature scent for nearly a decade & a half was L’Homme de la Nuit) but I never had a strong interest in the art. Bizarrely it was an anime that first got me curious...

With the unisex fragrance “Metal Lavender” places Matière Première lavender at the center: fresh, slightly metallic, and imbued with the floral depth of Haute-Provence. The idea for METAL LAVENDER came to me while I was spending time at the distilleries in Provence. I was deeply impressed by that almost brutalist setting of concrete and metal—the light, the spatial...

As a devoted fragrance collector over the past >decade, I’m honestly sad to see the ‘new’ luxury fragrance houses creating a trend of pouring all of their different scents into the same bottle and slapping different yet interchangeable labels on them. Diptique, Jo Malone London, Le Labo, BYREDO. What happened to the art of packaging? I understand that less is more and it’s all about...

★The Scent of a Stubborn Man★ Some fragrances whisper to the nose but fail to speak to the heart. Some scents feel like memories. This one tells the story of a man who refuses to bend, shaped by harsh realities yet never broken by them. It opens with Rose Damascena, but raspberry and pineapple quickly break through the softness, pulling attention with ease. This is where you understand him. He does not wait to be noticed,...
