Thierry Bessard is a remarkable perfumer whose journey into the world of fragrance is both serendipitous and passion - driven. After completing his medical college, initially inclined towards research, a fateful encounter with an article about the French perfumery school ISIPCA changed the course of his life. The allure of combining science and creativity in the field of perfumery immediately captivated him. Adding an interesting twist to his story, his grandmother later revealed that his grandfather was also a perfumer, and Thierry inherited a collection of recipes from him.
Throughout his career, Bessard has shown great humility. He often downplays his role as a perfumer, stating he's a chemist when asked about his occupation to avoid excessive attention. He views his career more as a hobby, which reflects his deep - seated love and dedication to the craft.
Bessard has crafted a diverse range of perfumes for various brands. For instance, he created "Rainy City" for M.INT in 2016, a fresh, stylish, and atmospheric unisex fragrance that evokes a unique mood, reminiscent of the ambiance during a rain shower in a city. In 2022, he was the mastermind behind "Terra Incognita Hot Land" for Brocard, a men's fragrance with top notes of citrus, middle notes of 檀香 and cedar, and base notes of tonka bean and leather, dedicated to the geothermal valley on the Kamchatka Peninsula. His portfolio also includes scents for brands like Felisa, Kásia Cosméticos, L'Acqua di Fiori, Natura, and O Boticário.
In total, there are 19 of his creations in the fragrance database, each a testament to his skill in blending different notes to create harmonious and memorable olfactory experiences. Whether it's a floral - dominated scent for women or a more woody and masculine fragrance, Thierry Bessard's perfumes showcase his versatility and artistry in the world of perfumery.
