Selected quotes

I didn't choose this job by chance, but perfume doesn't run in my family. It was Jean Kerléo, who was working for Patou at the time, who opened my eyes to everything it has to offer. Meeting him was unforgettable, and that encounter determined my future. — From The life of a perfumer at SoFeminine.

I would like to team up with one of the priests that created the first fragrance, the Kyphi. Kyphi is an incense that was used for religious and medical purposes. I would have loved to create it for a pharaoh, to ease his trip to the other world. — From Scent Treks Through Time at Basenotes.
