Its been a roller coaster these past few days, rumours, conflicting statements. As one reader put it: Where's Waldo? It's been the makings of a Duchaufour Drama?

No, a simple case of Lost in Translation. After several email exchanges we arrive at the truth. In House Perfumer, has a different meaning for him. He wrote to me in English the following

"Michelyn,

I am an in house perfumer without belonging to any brand I am working in a
privileged way with :  l'Artisan Parfumeur
                                     Penhaligon
                                    The Different Company

That's all.

My warm regards.

Bertrand"

As the Editor in Chief of www.cafleurebon.com , I avoid speculation; we abhor it. So now it's clear. In Bertrand's own words from an interview we did in 2009,

"You must be, as blogger leader, very careful of what you're divulging because you are the more efficient guarantor of the quality and veracity of any commentaries concerning fragrances and perfumery"

–Michelyn Camen, Editor in Chief
