DOMONIQUE PREYSSAS

Dominique Preyssas is a prolific fine-fragrance perfumer whose work stands out for its precision, its beauty and its power. An extraordinary technician, Dominique abandoned a scientific path after obtaining his degree in chemistry. He patiently studied a further three years at ISIPCA in order to pursue his passion for art and composition. Dominique then joined the famous Roure Bertrand Dupont Perfumery School, and subsequently worked at Mane Fils, two companies who have generated some of the best noses of the world. Since then he has gone on to work for Takassago prior to joining CPL Aromas in 2003. He has created a vast range of best-selling scents for brands around the globe. Dominique follows all the latest trends both through his love of travelling and his role as an active member of the Société Française des Parfumeurs. Outside of perfumery Dominique likes to recharge the batteries and get inspiration when and where he least expects it. Playing tennis every week and more recently golf. Dominique is a big fan of the new generation of molecules, around amber, a family that includes ambrocenide, norlimbanol dextro. “They are extremely powerful, long-lasting and can be used pure, or diluted, allowing all sorts of effects from adding volume and strength to the whole composition to giving a clear, super-modern amber, dry woody or animal signature. I have been using these a lot in niche fragrances for both men and women.”
