Benoist Lapouza is a perfumer who draws inspiration from nature, travel, and the tastes he encounters along the way, going as far as collaborating with chefs like Alain Passard to approach fragrance the way a chef approaches flavor.
He has worked with Takasago, Quest, and Fragrance Resources before joining Drom in 2014, creating fragrances including Live Jazz for YSL, Dolly Girl by Anna Sui, and Si Lolita for Lolita Lempicka. He builds compositions the way a composer builds a symphony — top, heart, and base working together — aiming to balance sensuality with freshness.

Radiant luminosity and ethereal transparency. Kurkdjian's fragrances glow — they possess an inner light that makes them feel both airy and profound. His palette favors ambroxan, saffron, and delicate florals, composed with a musician's instinct for harmony.

Refined elegance and measured sophistication. Polge's compositions for Chanel embodied the house's aesthetic — never too much, never too little, always precisely right. His fragrances have the quiet authority of impeccable tailoring.

Noble materials and classical structure. Creed fragrances are built around the finest natural ingredients — ambergris, royal water, hand-selected musks — composed in the traditional infusion method that has defined the house for centuries.
