Christian Carbonnel


I was meant to become a perfumer, as I was literally born inside the industry. Indeed, the story of my family business goes back to nearly one century: my grandfather established the company back in 1925; later on, my father resumed and expanded the work of the company from 1975 onwards.


I was trained, of course, in the in-house lab, surrounded not only by the best possible advisor - my father! - but also by a brilliant team of perfumers. 

When I'm not travelling across the world, which is quite often, I'm putting my nose into work in order to create new fragrances, new smells and new sensations. Frequently I land into a new city, reach the hotel and get a parcel full of sample to be evaluated. 


I work to send a feedback and wait till my next destination to get again a new set of samples with all the modifications on the projects I’m working on. My business trips are not only to visit customer: I also source my own ingredients all over the world, I love to get lost in the research of unique quality ingredients.
