Olivier Durbano
There are few friends in fragrance who I cherish as much as I do perfumer, jewelry designer and artist Olivier Durbano. For those who are unfamiliar with Olivier Durbano he has been creating a collection of perfumes, most often based on gemstones, entitled Bijoux & Parfums de Pierres Poemes since 2004, when he launched Rock Crystal. His 11th perfume Crysolithe and 10th perfume Promethée won CaFleureBon Best of Scent Awards. A deeply spiritual man he is also kind, gentle and giving. As we are seeing more and more with small independent olfactive artists, in order for them to continue to grow, create and buy raw materials they are turning to perfume lovers, friends and family. Olivier was too humble to approach me; I am writing this post because I believe that each of his fragrances are truly magical and healing. If you enjoy reading ÇaFleureBon, have ever won a draw, let’s give back to the small perfumers who redefine artistic perfumery and have been so generous with their sponsorships.
