The notes

From the Perfumer

In this page, I would like to share with you lots of informations about my job, ingredients, legislation, history of brands or perfumes…

I would tell you my point of view and philosophy without hiding anything.

It will be a pleasure to reply to your questions and comments and perhaps write a new article about a subject you want.

Have a good read and see you soon.
