Selected quotes

When I was a little girl I was always in the garden, so I know all the plants. So when I studied perfumery it was very easy for me. Perfumes and olfactive scents are really distinctive, so when you’re a little child, you remember but you don’t analyze. And we all have that. Now I analyze and control these scents, but it’s very instinctive, scents, and very emotional. So it’s great to create emotions. — From The story of Grasse, told in perfumes at Philstar.
