Perfumer Mathilde Laurent

After completing studies at the ISIPCA perfumery school, Mathilde Laurent worked at Guerlain under perfumer Jean-Paul Guerlain for 11 years. In 2005, she moved to Cartier, where she became in-house perfumer in charge of creating custom fragrances for clients at Cartier's flagship boutique in Paris; she also has developed a number of Cartier's mainstream fragrance releases.

Selected quotes

At Cartier we all agree that a good perfume always begins with a great idea. If you need to, you can refine the idea to make it more commercial, but a great idea will never become only commercial. It will become familiar, it will touch people very easily, but it will not be purely commercial. When you start only with the idea of being commercial to please everybody, you will have nothing. No idea, no pleasure, just sales. Maybe it will work a little bit: you will sell out one time. But that’s all. You will be a one-hit wonder. — From an interview with Tank Magazine.

I’ll take the example of Baiser Volé, which I always called “anti-floral”. To me it is anti-floral because I get tired of how monotonous the market is and I also get tired of the vision of femininity women are offered through floral perfumes that are not floral perfumes anymore. We are stuck in archetypes and redundancy, women are always invited to either be giant flower bouquets, or big vanilla marshmallows. I wanted to make a floral that would be different in the way it addresses women: making a floral perfume doesn’t mean you have to put (she takes a silly, girly voice) the very essence of femininity in it! — From INTERVIEW: MATHILDE LAURENT ON ART, NATURE AND INTELLIGENT MARKETING at Flair.
