Bertrand Duchaufour: the art of telling an olfactory story

Portrait of an independent nose

Bertrand Duchaufour is one of the most admired perfumers in niche creation. Renowned for his work on incense and woody materials, he conceives each fragrance as a story, with an unmistakable signature: depth, relief and true daring. His compositions do not seek to seduce at first sniff but to establish an atmosphere, a memory, a place.

Bertrand Duchaufour's creations at Soleil d'Or

For NAOMI GOODSIR, he imagined Or du Sérail, a gourmand and enveloping amber, as well as Corpus Equus, a smoky, woody leather. You will also find Enchanted Forest for The Vagabond Prince and Gardez-Moi, a solar floral signed JOVOY PARFUMS. Several creations for L'Entropiste — Ensang Noir, White Blood, Altamura and Dawn Whispers — round out the panorama.

A writing of incense and leather

His fragrances readily explore the amber, woody and floral families, around powerful materials such as incense, leather or tuberose. A dense olfactory vocabulary, never gratuitous.

Who is a Duchaufour for, and when to wear it?

His fragrances are aimed at lovers of characterful woody and amber compositions, to wear in the evening or in the cooler season. If you love this narrative signature, also explore the creations of Antoine Lie or Isabelle Doyen.
