Senior Vice-President Perfumer at Symrise after thirty years at IFF, Aliénor Massenet has developed an olfactory style recognizable by its luminous contrasts and mystical signature of labdanum and myrrh.
Trained at Cinquième Sens and Firmenich, she revolutionizes the leather accord with unexpected solar compositions in her emblematic creations for Memo (Lalibela, Irish Leather), Viktor & Rolf (Antidote) and Margiela (Jazz Club).
Her emotional approach transforms each fragrance into an authentic sensory story.
Maurice Roucel, who began his career by joining Chanel in 1973 as a chromatography technician, has become one of the most influential perfumers of his time. Winner of the Prix François Coty in 2002, he has created fragrances for Hermès, Guerlain, Rochas, Serge Lutens and Frédéric Malle.
His style combines carnal sensuality with structural clarity: creamy magnolia, enveloping musks, luminous florals or amber orientals.
Between scientific rigor and sensual instinct, his compositions reveal straightforward, readable fragrances, designed to dialogue intimately with the skin.
