Paul Léger built his career at Firmenich, where in 1974 he created Givenchy's Gentleman, a refined scent that became a signature men's fragrance worldwide.
In 1978 he collaborated with fellow perfumers Robert Gonnon and Roger Pellegrino on Cacharel's Anaïs Anaïs, a delicate lily-based composition inspired by purity that became one of the defining feminine fragrances of its era. He later developed a more intense edition, Anaïs Anaïs Parfum Concentrée.
Refined, enduring compositions that became defining scents for both masculine and feminine perfumery of the 1970s.
