Thread: Pictures of Perfumers |
Just thought it'd be fun to have a thread of photos of our favourite perfumers, see what they look like. Hmm, what kind of conjecture can we hallucinate about them based on their appearance?
Serge Lutens
Not a perfumer himself, but directs Sheldrake (below) as to what he wants for his line, which is my favourite.
Christopher Sheldrake (left)
Perfumer of all the Lutens fragrances, also Femininité du Bois, and if I'm not mistaken he's been hired by Dior as well.
Jean Claude Ellena
Creations include Terre, the Hermessence line, Jardin en Meditérranée, Jardin sur le Nil for Hermes, the Thé Vert/Rouge/Blanc series for Bvlgari.
Jean Paul and Jacques Guerlain
Vetiver, Shalimar, Samsara, and many many other heavenly classics.
Pépé LePew
Creator of Kouros, Muscs Koublai Khan and many, many others (help me out with these if you know of any!)

I love this pic of my favorite parfumer Jacques Guerlain (he looks so Freudian): http://a352.ac-images.myspacecdn.com...a7fb38ea37.jpg

Hey, I enjoyed your Guerlain site by the way! Just listened to the NPR interview.
He does look Freudian!

Whoah - Ms. Giacobetti aside, I hope the rest of those guys smell better than they look! Geekorama!
I didn't realize Super Mario was a perfumer!

Serge looks a bit naughty and somewhat witty-cheeky on that first picture...Olivia is a beautiful woman...
thanks for the sharing everyone!
That's not John Kerry, that's Roudnitska Spock--see the space ship apparatus behind him?

Hey you know what - we should mark what these guys/gals have created - besides Tauer I don't recognize any of the ones I didn't post myself! I'll go back and add some fragrances to the images.

Sheldrake was hired not by Dior but by Chanel. The guy in the picture with Sheldrake is Chanel nose, Jacques Polge.

P.S. Where did you get such a large image of Olivia Giacobetti, and can you find a similarly large image of one of my two, three favorite noses, Annick Menardo?

It was at the link PaulSC provided

Can't find one of Menardo (creator of Lolita Lempika and Body Kouros) except this one

JC Ellena is a very handsome man!
Thanks so much all y'all! Can't believe that the creator of the marvelous Lipstick Rose - SO jazzy and in-your-face could look so....geeky! (Not that that's terrible!)

And not to forget our sweet Christine Nagel, who made some VERY sensual scents!
Like Histoire d'Eau by Mauboussin (and didn't she help with Narsico Rodriguez for her?)

Christophe Laudamiel and Christoph Horn
Names should be reversed. That's Christoph Horn on the left and Christophe Laudamiel on the right.

Giacobetti is a looker !

Here's a pic of my favourite perfumer right now - and as an added bonus, he IS also good looking.
Pierre Guillaume of Parfumerie Générale.

I'll stop wearing black when they make something darker
yes, he looks good indeed!
I wouldn't mind having breakfast with him![]()
He certainly has a remarkable nose.
And his perfumes are : .......?

I beg to differ! Querelle and Corps et Ames are glorious. Bois de Copaiba isn't really my style, but it smells positively ambrosial on my boyfriend.
I was surprised to see that P.G. is a young hottie, there's a maturity to his compositions that led me to expect someone less youthful behind them.
Again, as someone noted, a lot has to do with personal taste and skin chemistry. Maybe not so much skin chemistry, as they worked well with my skin, but they just lacked originality (we've all smelt a chocolate scent before), a bit dull or boring and just plain old did nothing for me. But again, this is all in my opinion. I just think there's other better niche perfume houses out there.
I beg to differ too.... enough said if he toppled Serge from the throne he was sitting on in my heart. But you're right...it's all about personal taste. However, I wouldn't want to hijack this thread which is about perfumer's pictures...should we start a new thread on PG? It's not much talke about.

Hey, is she "L'Artisan" or is "L'Artisan" just a house with many perfumers? I always assumed for some reason that it was one guy.
