Michel Roudnitska grew up inside his father Edmond Roudnitska's laboratory, absorbing the craft behind icons like Femme de Rochas, Eau Sauvage, and Diorissimo before pursuing his own path as a photographer and director.
In 1997 he founded the creation studio Art & Parfum, composing fragrances for niche houses including Frédéric Malle and Parfums DelRae. His interdisciplinary work extends beyond scent into olfactive concerts, ballets, and scented operas.
