The Early Years

Marc Buxton discovered his passion for perfume at a very early age. Fascinated by scents and the emotions they can evoke, he decided to embark on a career as a perfumer. After extensive studies and years of training, he began collaborating with prestigious perfume houses, refining his art and developing his own style.

Breakthrough with Comme des Garçons

Mark Buxton's career really took off with the creation of his first fragrance for Comme des Garçons.

Philosophy and inspiration

For Marc Buxton, inspiration comes from everywhere: travel, nature, film, music and books. He firmly believes that fragrances have the power to inspire, to make people special and to evoke precious memories. Among his favourite ingredients are Osmanthus absolute and Elderflower absolute, which he loves for their complexity and multi-faceted nature.

A multi-faceted perfumer

In 2010, Buxton became an investor in the Nose boutique in Paris, a space dedicated to niche fragrances, which opened its doors in June 2012.
