Arturetto Landi is Italian, trained as a chemist, and became a perfumer by chance. A temporary job at a fragrance company in England changed his path. After growing up on the Italian Riviera with a father who was a chef, he trained at H&R in Holzminden, then worked in New York, Paris, Tokyo, Hamburg, Vienna, and Dubai. The Middle East introduced him to agarwood, which became the backbone of his work. His style is expansive, dense, and theatrical. He likes warm, woody, leathery oud,...

Alexandre Makhloufi is a self-taught perfumer based in Paris. After an initial career in culture and audiovisual media, he devoted himself entirely to olfactory creation. His studio, first named Sacré Français, became Dissident Parfums in April 2026. He created three perfumes: Sleep No More in 2024, Coeur Fauve in 2025, and Umbra Veris in 2026.

At Ramon Molvizar, creation carries a collective dimension. The perfumes are developed by its creative team, in a collective approach where each composition is born from a dialogue between materials, imagination, and expertise. The house thus chooses to prioritize its artistic signature rather than highlight the name of an individual perfumer. A vision that has accompanied, since its beginnings, the idea of perfume as a true form of artistic expression.

Grandson of Jean-Paul Guerlain, Paul Guerlain discovered the ylang-ylang, vanilla, and spice plantations of Mayotte at the age of five. At fifteen, he began composing fragrances in the family laboratory, before training at ISIPCA and then at IFF under Anne Flipo. Heir to a name steeped in history, he has built his own language. His writing seeks a dialogue between materials, their attractions and their oppositions. Sensitive and precise, he draws on memories, travels, and everyday gestures to...

Born in Strasbourg and trained as a chemist, Antoine Lie learned perfumery in Grasse under Jean Guichard. After twenty-seven years within major fragrance houses, he chose independence and founded his ALOE studio in Paris. His style, direct and willingly provocative, explores the less conventional facets of olfaction: metal, leather, smoke, animalic or mineral notes. He is drawn to expressive materials, bold contrasts, and strong creative choices that provoke a reaction. Behind this radicality...

Jean-Claude Ellena prefers ellipsis to emphasis. Born in Grasse into a family of perfumers, he joined Antoine Chiris at the age of sixteen, where he learned about raw materials through contact with the old masters. His olfactory style seeks clarity, movement, and the right emotion. Each formula seems stripped of the superfluous in order to let its central idea breathe. Former exclusive perfumer for Hermès, he approaches his craft with the precision of an artisan and the sensitivity of a...

Born into a family connected to the perfume industry of Grasse, Vincent Ricord grew up in Nice surrounded by stories of raw materials and travel. Dyslexic, he found at a very young age in the laboratory a logic that suited him: smelling, combining, trying, and starting over. A senior perfumer at TechnicoFlor, he creates from an image or an emotion, much like a musician searching for the riff that can carry a song. A guitarist, bassist, and painter, he feeds his formulas with colors, rhythms,...

Marine Ipert grew up in the south of France, between sea and mountains, to the rhythm of lavender, mimosa, jasmine, and orange blossom blooms. A mother passionate about perfumes, a father attentive to the family garden, and, at the age of thirteen, a decisive encounter with a perfumer from Grasse awakened her vocation. After studying chemistry and at ISIPCA, she trained at IFF and then at the Symrise school, before joining Takasago in 2023. A draughtswoman since childhood, she conceives...

He is a creator with a keen sense of balance between sophistication and minimalism, with an approach focused on end use and olfactory emotion.

Reserved by nature, he belongs to that generation of perfumers whose work highlights technique just as much as creative precision.
