Philippe Paparella-Paris grew up surrounded by his mother's and grandmothers' love for Y by Yves Saint Laurent, Coco, and N°5 by Chanel, developing a lasting passion for perfume and bottle-collecting.
Over more than twenty years he has worked for Symrise in Shanghai, Dubai, and São Paulo, becoming a connoisseur of local tastes across Indonesia, China, Dubai, and Brazil. In 2022 he created five perfumes for the Numerus collection by Spiritum and received the International François Coty Prize.

Scentsation editorialFragrances credited to Philippe in our catalog, by house.
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.
234 creations
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.
