SUR LA PISTE DES SENTEURS

A sourcing specialist, Stéphane Piquart criss-crosses the globe in search of delicate, bewitching or incongruous fragrances likely to seduce the most renowned perfumers.

Alongside this “scent seeker”, we embark on a marvelous olfactory journey all around the world, on the trail of the rare raw materials used in perfume manufacture. From India (with attar) to Polynesia (with monoi), via Madagascar (with baobab) and Namibia (with myrrh), traditional craftspeople expose the myths that surround these distinctive aromas, and reveal the secrets of their making.
