Mark Buxton :: Perfumers

Mark Buxton

Although few will have heard of him, within the industry, and among scent obsessives, Buxton is best known for the many iconoclastic fragrances he has created for Comme des Garçons, including its original — many would say finest — scent based on a distinctive, sultry accord of Moroccan souk; and Comme des Garçons 2, with its unconventional ink note. — Karen Wheeler, writing at the Financial Times

Mark Buxton was born in Derby, England, and says he "entered the world of perfumery by pure hazard".1 He attended perfumery school at Haarmann & Reimer and currently works for Symrise.

In 2008, Mark Buxton launched his own line of perfumes under the brand name "By Mark Buxton". In 2012, the brand was renamed Mark Buxton Perfumes (see).

Selected Quotes

I tend to be irritated with the IFRA restrictions and the fall in prices of the formulas. Too often, clients hide behind the test and we tend to accept with greater difficulty the various modifications produced by the test.2
