- Arthur d'Hauteville Perfumer:
Arthur d'Hauteville is a remarkable figure in the world of perfumery. As a perfumer, he is part of the creative force behind Maison D'Hauteville, a French niche fragrance house.
The maison was founded by Stéphanie d'Hauteville, along with her brothers Arthur and Thomas, drawing inspiration from their family heritage. Their father, Roland, who had diverse experiences from the protestant bank to the jewelry business at Place Vendôme, instilled in them a love for risk - taking and beauty, which is reflected in their perfume creations.
Arthur d'Hauteville, in collaboration with his siblings, has crafted several memorable fragrances. For instance, Figure Libre, launched in the 2010s, is a unisex eau fraiche floral hesperidé. It opens with the invigorating scent of mandarin, followed by a heart of ylang - ylang, rose, and lavender, exuding a sunny and warm aroma. The base notes of white musk and cedar leave an impression of sensuality that transcends gender boundaries. Another creation is Oberena, a fragrance designed for women. Each of their perfumes seems to capture the memories and emotions associated with their Basque family house "Obéréna", the leather of their father's bandoliers, and the lively women they encountered at Saint - Germain - des - Prés.
Arthur d'Hauteville's work showcases a deep understanding of high - quality ingredients. His perfumes are not only about creating scents but also about telling stories, making them long - lasting and unforgettable, appealing to those who seek elegance and individuality in their fragrance choices.
