I would say that it is most of all meeting with personalities behind fragrances projects. They show me their universe and tell their story by entirely exposing their own feelings. My work is to immerse myself into their vision and sensitivity to create fragrances that highlight their world with cleverness and filled with emotion. But on top of that, the simple pleasures of everyday life, a painting, a song, a dawn, a dessert, a book atmosphere …  inspire me and provoke the starting point of a creation full of passion .

My garden is shaped like an English garden, made of aromatic plants and fragrant roses. With the seasons, Idevelop my patience and my sense of observation. I love to watch the changing color of the leaves, smell the evanescentscents of flowers and feel the touch of the earth on my hands. Because we tend to mistreat it, I take great care of nature which has infused in me the passion for perfume.
