Selected quotes
My main influences are the things from my daily life. The smell of my fireplace in the Périgord, the smell of my attic, the putty around the windows. Humus, fresh-cut pine, the cracking of a match… Any of life’s little moments can be the starting point for a new creation. — On her influences as a fragrance designer, via Osmoz.
