Pierre Aulas came to perfumery by chance, discovered by the Grasse house Mane while overseeing marketing development for beauty products at a mass-market distributor at age 26.
His combination of marketing instinct and olfactory talent led Firmenich to offer him a position on the condition he could work on Mugler projects, and for a decade he collaborated closely with Véra Strubi, former president of Thierry Mugler Parfums. In 2001 he founded his own consultancy, Art of Nose Consulting, going on to work with Azzaro, Fendi, L'Occitane, and Chloé.
A liaison's sensibility — bridging brand strategy and olfactory creativity built from years inside Mugler's creative world.
