"I am a craftsman with the sensitivity of an artist," says Christophe Raynaud, a perfumer passionate about fragrances. His addiction to fragrance has led him to create some of the most popular perfumes in the industry. For him, perfumery is a universe, and the fragrance is his addiction.

Starting with a raw form, an olfactory block, Raynaud works for hours to shape his creation, like a craftsman or a sculptor. "At first, I am the architect, and then I become the craftsman," he explains. His fragrances stand out for their presence and radiance, reflecting his unique perspective on the art of perfumery.

Raynaud's desire to become a perfumer began at an early age. As a teenager, he dreamed of creating a brand with his childhood friend, designing clothes and perfumes. "This was done a few years later," he says, realizing his dream.

"As a perfumer, I imagine myself as a craftsman with the sensitivity of an artist," Raynaud continues. "The craftsman has precise know-how, expertise linked to their trade that almost goes without definition. The artist expresses their sensitivity, creative freedom, conception of art, and unique inspiration. In this sense, the perfumer is an artist and a craftsman."

With a career spanning multiple prestigious fragrance companies and collaborations with top brands, Raynaud has left his mark on the industry. His creations, including Paco Rabanne 1 Million, Lancôme La Nuit Trésor, and Mugler Aura Mugler, are loved by millions around the world.
