Dominique Preyssas
The amber molecule enthusiastDominique Preyssas is a fine-fragrance perfumer who left a scientific path after his chemistry degree to study for three more years at ISIPCA, then trained at the Roure Bertrand Dupont Perfumery School and worked at Mane Fils and Takasago before joining CPL Aromas in 2003.
“They are extremely powerful, long-lasting and can be used pure, or diluted, allowing all sorts of effects from adding volume and strength to the whole composition to giving a clear, super-modern amber, dry woody or animal signature.”
