Alex's story
The story
Raised in California, his fascination with scent began in childhood and led him first toward a career in medicine before he redirected toward perfumery, studying French in Lyon and then attending the Grasse Institute of Perfumery and ISIPCA. After graduating, he trained at Mane's Perfumery School in Bar-sur-Loup and New York before joining the company's Paris team. In 2013 he won the young perfumer competition The Scent of Esxence — 5 Years of Excellence, and has since created fragrances including Lancôme Figues & Agrumes, Carolina Herrera Gold Myrrh Absolute, and Penhaligon's Agarbathi.
