In this exclusive interview, Olivier Cresp, the master perfumer made famous for Angel, explores contemporary addictions-coffee, chocolate, nicotine-and transforms them into elegant, figurative niche fragrances. With his daughter Anaïs, he creates modern gourmet creations such as Crush and Bake. AKRO embodies an independent, audacious and sophisticated perfumery, where addiction becomes an olfactory experience.
Yenchi Lin, a Taiwanese perfumer trained in Grasse, composes fragrances as one writes intimate narratives. Nurtured by memories of her childhood in Kaohsiung and her deep bond with nature, she creates modern, sensitive and narrative fragrances. Each fragrance, like The Hometown In Me or Sing at My Funeral, explores memory and emotion with clarity and delicacy. At the crossroads of cultures, her style asserts a singular voice in the new contemporary perfumery.
