It is the work of a great talent and a deep mastery, in front of its existence to the talented perfumer Christophe Raynaud.

Christophe Raynaud’s desire to become a perfumer

The desire to turn to the world of perfumery began in the third year for Christophe Raynaud. Indeed, he began to collect miniatures of perfumes and very quickly expressed a certain curiosity vis-à-vis the profession of perfumer. Thus, he did an internship at L’Oréal, thinking that it was within large groups that perfumes were created. Although he realized the opposite, this did not discourage him and he oriented his studies towards ISIPCA, the only subsidiary to become a perfumer for someone who was not born in Grasse or from a family of perfumers. He then completed his entire work-study program at Créations Aromatics, where he met the great perfumer Michel Almairac. Moreover, he confides that it it is the latter who really gave him a taste for perfumery. Once his diploma in hand, Christophe Raynaud continued his apprenticeship within the same company in Paris and then in Switzerland. However, not appreciating life in this country, he returned to France and joined Drom Fragrances where he spent seven years, from 1993 to 2000 as an assistant perfumer and then a junior perfumer. It was then that he returned to Créations Aromatique as a full-fledged perfumer. However, the company that merged with Dragoco had become Symrise. This collaboration lasted several years but Christophe Raynaud then went to Givaudan where he is still currently a perfumer.

According to Christophe Raynaud, his magic recipe for a successful perfume is based on “an astonishing start, an opening heart and sensuality. When a woman wears a perfume, he said, I must want to kiss her. So for a man, I hope that the perfume will work so that a woman wants to snuggle up against him ”.
