Sébastien Cresp, son of celebrated perfumer Olivier Cresp, grew up in Neuilly-sur-Seine surrounded by the fragrance industry and knew early on he wanted to follow his father's path.
He studied at the Grasse Institute of Perfumery before joining Firmenich as a trainee perfumer, where he has now worked for over thirteen years across body care and fine fragrance. His notable work includes Confessions of a Rebel, built on a contrast of hot and icy ingredients, alongside projects for Natura, Oriflame, and Bath & Body Works.
