Maurice Roucel portrait
I compose for the skin, not the blotter. A fragrance only truly exists when it meets warmth.

Maurice Roucel is a master perfumer at Symrise whose prolific career spans five decades and hundreds of fragrances. Born in Saint-Girons in the French Pyrenees, he is celebrated for his ability to create scents of extraordinary sensuality — compositions that caress the skin and linger in memory. His masterpieces include Guerlain's Insolence, Lancôme's Trésor Midnight, and the landmark 24 Faubourg for Hermès. Roucel works with an almost musical sensibility, building fragrances in waves of tension and release.

The story behind the bottle.

A bustling cafe in the early afternoon, where the air is filled with the scent of freshly squeezed orange juice and soft florals from a vase on the table.
