- Claudine Roublot Perfumer:
Claudine Roublot is a perfumer with a deep - rooted connection to the world of fragrance. She was born in Grasse, a renowned perfume - making region where her family, hailing from a mountain village north of Grasse, had been harvesting lavender, hyacinth, and aromatic plants for generations. Her grandmother's general store, which sold lavender and rose essences, along with various perfumed products, left an indelible mark on Claudine from a young age. The rose fragrance and the lavender oil passed down from her grandfather are particularly dear to her, serving as a kind of olfactory time - machine that evokes her childhood memories.
Before embarking on her career as a perfumer, Claudine worked as an export, communication, and brand manager. This experience was a crucial stepping - stone as it provided her with a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of the perfume industry, from creation and production to communication and sales.
Claudine's vision is to make high - quality perfume accessible to a wide range of people. She specializes in designing custom - made perfumes from start to finish for companies aiming to develop their own signature scents. Understanding the unique desires of each client, as well as their business activities and target clientele, is at the heart of her work. She acts as a dedicated liaison, guiding clients through every stage of the creation and production process, demystifying what can often seem like an unattainable goal, especially for those new to the world of perfume creation. Her focus on small - quantity production makes it possible for fashion brands, stores, and even individuals to have their own bespoke fragrances.
In her portfolio of works, Claudine has created several notable fragrances. For instance, "Scentence 360" by Mystery, Modern Mark, launched in 2019, is a unisex fragrance. It features a complex blend of accords including woody, earthy, amber, leather, oud, patchouli, warm spicy, powdery, and animalic notes. The top notes of agarwood (oud) and white cedar extract lead into middle notes of leather, cypriol oil or nagarmotha, and patchouli, with base notes of sandalwood and amber. This fragrance is well - regarded for its excellent longevity and sillage. Another example is "In the Mood for Patchouli" by Parfum & Projet, launched in 2018 for both men and women. With fragrance notes of patchouli, amber, sandalwood, and vanilla, it offers a warm and inviting scent profile. Also, "In the Mood for Yuzu", also by Parfum & Projet in 2018, combines yuzu, cardamom, white blossoms, vanilla, and musk, creating a fresh and unique olfactory experience.
