Olivier Pescheux is a master perfumer at Givaudan whose work draws deeply from his extensive travels through the Middle East and Asia.
“The idea behind Eau Capitale was to illustrate the perfect perfume for a Parisien/Parisienne: chic and elegant, but also sensual and sexy, ready for a date at any time.”

Pescheux also works with niche houses including Penhaligon's and Perris Monte Carlo, always bringing his signature warmth and depth to every brief.
