Thomas Fontaine studied perfumery at ISIPCA in Versailles before working for Mane, Charabot, and Technico Flor, building a reputation for reviving heritage fragrance brands including Lubin, Grès, Jean Patou, Worth, and Jean-Louis Scherrer.
His creations for Lubin include Black Jade, Gin Fizz, and Figaro, and he composed Snob, Tubereuse, and Eau Noble for the revived house Le Galion. As an independent 'fragrance archaeologist,' he adapts legendary formulas from the past for modern wear while contributing original contemporary accords.
