Arnaud’s love of fragrance is evident when he speaks. “For me, perfume is a melange of fashion and art, it’s all about expressing feelings and emotions in a puff of wind. Fragrance is about luxury and passion yet it must also be approachable and fun, I like fragrances with attitude.” He believes that his designs can influence moods and personality, that the best thing about a fragrance is that it can always be with you, everywhere you go, touching your heart and mind.

After having graduated at the International School of Perfumery (ISIPCA) in Paris, she chose to broaden her professional and cultural horizon and moved to England to join Quintessence (Goldfield Fragrances). Located in both England and India, she had the opportunity to discover the particularities of both the European and Asian markets and to gain experience in all product categories.
