Patrice's story
The story
In 2017 he co-founded the fragrance company Maelström with associates Marie Schnirer and Yohan Cervi, and one of the brand's early successes was Iris Gris, a faithful reinterpretation of Jacques Fath's 1946 original.

Revillard
Patrice Revillard was born in Annecy, Haute-Savoie, in 1991, and his early interest in botany drew him toward perfumery; finding university studies too theoretical, he trained instead at the École Supérieure du Parfum in Paris.

Artists in Conversation
The composer of light
Francis Kurkdjian
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.

The architect of Chanel
Jacques Polge
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
The dynasty continues
Olivier Creed
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.
