The Scented Life: All about fragrance

Great interview with perfumer Celine Elena

by Amy on August 6th, 2007

I really enjoyed this article - some great, pithy, and off the cuff quotes about perfume, love, and science from the nose of The Different Company. The highlights:

I write my formula on the computer, and my assistant mixes it for me in the lab. The smell of the lab is too strong for me to work there.

I just smell my own skin. It’s something very familiar. And then I feel well, and my nose is clean.

American people are more romantic than French people. French people love a lot, but they love and forget. American people are very romantic. They love, and it’s for life.

You’ve got to have a very strong and bad character. [Laughs.] The other point is to have an open door in your mind. It’s a never-ending story. When you’re creating fragrances, you never know the end. If you say, “I am arriving, I know everything,” you are finished.
