With a childhood deeply anchored in the South of France, he nurtured a profound curiosity for arts and fashion from an early age. Growing up gardening with his grandparents amid rose bushes, traveling to India, visiting exhibitions in world-renowned museums, and listening to classical music—these formative experiences ignited a desire to translate such sensory narratives through the art of perfumery.
His passion for music led him to play the drums for 13 years and begin dancing at 19, parallel to his studies in molecular chemistry. After several years working in Grasse, he joined Symrise in 2019, focusing on fragrance reformulation and perfumery raw materials. He remains dedicated to merging creativity, technical precision, and sustainability, while maintaining a strong bond with dance—a philosophy he often articulates as: "One passion always nourishes another."
