Marc Zini spent his childhood in Grasse in an Italian family, falling in love with the city's flower fields, and after studying accounting joined Charabot in 1977 before training at the Charabot Perfumery School.
Since 1993 he has traveled extensively to Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Oman, becoming an expert in the region's oriental and amber materials, and created Âme Toscane for Isabel Derroisné/ID Parfums; since 2018 he has mentored students at the Robertet School of Perfumery.

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.
76 creations
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.
