Chanel perfumer Olivier Polge interviewed at the London launch of Comete, 2024

There’s this sentence that I always repeat: she asked for “an artificial perfume.” Artificial in the sense that she didn’t want the scent to smell exactly like a rose or a jasmine or a lily of the valley, but a combination of all those scents that would make the perfume into something else. She made a parallel with making dresses, shaping a silhouette, combining different fabrics, and that was very new. We always try to go away from the signature of nature and make it more abstract.

Chanel’s in-house perfumer, Olivier Polge, was in London recently for the launch of the new Exclusif perfume, Comete. To find out what he had to say about the scent as well as about his role in one of the most secretive houses in the industry, please click on this link to my Substack: Olivier Polge, Chanel, interview.
