I have called Bertrand the ‘Rockstar’ of Perfumery on several occasions; I amend that statement… he is the fragrance world’s most intrepid explorer, always his own man, requiring no entourage, flattery or handlers as he pushes the boundaries of 21st century perfumery.

Ida takes no prisoners, Michelyn is craving sophistication, Skye tries to keep summer with her just a bit longer and for Mark…its cashmere, tobacco and spices.
