Alexis's story

The story

He began his career on the marketing side before moving to Grasse to study perfumery and pursue composition directly. He approaches fragrance creation the way an architect approaches a building — sketching first, then layering in nuance until the structure is complete. His work includes Mugler's Womanity, Jessica Simpson's Fancy, and Valentino's Valentina Blush, alongside fragrances for Bottega Veneta, Boucheron, Chloé, Comme des Garçons, and others.

In their own words

How Alexis works

Signature

Structured, architecturally-built compositions layered up from an initial sketch, drawing inspiration from gardens, museums, music, and architecture.
