217. JULIEN RASQUINET ~ the perfumer trained to be a champion.
Om avsnittet
Julien Rasquinet, Senior Perfumer at CPL Aromas, had an incredibly fortuitous path to perfumery, and it began with a chance meeting at an airport.
Today, he is one of the most prolific and successful perfumers of all time, and when you hear his story, you'll understand why.
We chat about creating the perfect rose, where AI falls short, his least favorite kind of client briefs, the behind-the-scenes stories of your (my) fave perfumes, and how following his nose across the world led him to exactly where he was meant to be [our perfume shelves!].
