Laurent Bruyère loves to tell his own story of success and training.
“I am self-taught. I have always had the passion of discovering how things are constructed and this directed me in my studies towards scientific research. But at 16, whilst studying biochemistry, I saw a lady preparing the doses for an Eau de Cologne….In order to understand more about it I began to study the great fragrances of the past, trying to reproduce them. After my degree I was lucky enough to meet perfumers such Maurice Maurin and Anne-Marie Saget who have significantly influenced my career path and allowed me to come into contact with personalities of the standard of Jean-Paul Guerlain.
Employed as junior parfumeur with Daniel Harlant, and then by Charabot even though he didn’t come from a fragrance school, he passed six years in learning the bases of composition and memorizing thousands of raw materials.
I constantly confront myself with criticism: this makes the profession of Perfumer even more exalting. I’ve often worked with other creators, principally Dominique Ropion who has also been my mentor in the years in which I collaborated with IFF, and I hold much esteem and admiration for many colleagues".
