A luxury perfumer in Grasse, France, who views scents as narratives. I study the chemistry of fragrance and its ability to trigger memory, much like a well-written memoir. My reading habits are sensory-heavy; I love descriptions of nature, food, and atmosphere in 20th-century French literature. My profile is a fragrant journey through lavender fields, distillation labs, and reviews of books that 'smell' like their settings. I believe that every person has a signature scent and every city has a signature story. I’m currently writing a book on the history of perfume in literature.
