- Tanguy Guesnet Perfumer:
Tanguy Guesnet stands as a prodigious perfumer whose legacy in the fragrance industry remains indelible. Affiliated with International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF), a global vanguard in olfactive innovation, Guesnet refined his craft under the tutelage of the legendary Anne Flipo, a seven-time FIFI Award laureate. This mentorship endowed him with a masterful fusion of artistic intuition and scientific precision in scent composition.
Guesnet’s oeuvre is distinguished by his prowess in distilling eclectic elements into sensory narratives. In handhandhand’s Out of the Blue from the Scent Spectrum series, he harmonizes natural Turkish Damascus rose essential oil with bergamot and ebony. The blend emanates a gentle vibrancy with a subtle linger, weaving a tale of breakthrough and innovation—ideal for those embracing an extraordinary lifestyle.
For Vetiver AROMAG’s Sol Vert, he contrasts earthy undertones with the woody freshness of pine needles, crafting a fragrance that thrives with boundless vitality. Evoking the essence of early spring and nature’s exuberance, the scent immerses wearers in the energy of trees, fields, and soil.
In Melt Season’s Siren, ylang-ylang takes primacy. Guesnet layers the heart note with meticulous precision, introducing spices like ambergris’ subtly salty animalic nuances, benzoin’s coumarin-rich balsamic warmth, and sandalwood’s dry sweetness. This transforms the floral into an alluring, graceful aroma, vividly capturing ylang-ylang’s complex character.
His collaborations further underscore his versatility: reimagining Lacoste Original alongside Anne Flipo with a contemporary edge, or creating Longjing Osmanthus for WHENANDWHERE—a delicate balance of sweet osmanthus, fresh jasmine, and Longjing tea that evokes an idyllic Eastern landscape.
Tanguy Guesnet’s creations reflect a profound reverence for ingredients and an innovative ethos. Beyond their sensory allure, his fragrances evoke emotions and narrate stories, cementing his status as a revered icon in modern perfumery.
