Evaluation: a key step in crafting your scent

As Fragrance Designer, Hortense is the crucial bridge between client and “Le Nez”—the perfumer.

A bilingual expert in olfactive communication, she translates your vision into a language the perfumer can interpret. She then guides and advises the creation, ensuring it aligns precisely with your brand’s spirit and emotional goals.

At the heart of her role lies a crucial step: olfactory evaluation.

Before presenting a first fragrance proposal, she rigorously assesses the perfumer’s composition across several dimensions:

  • Brand DNA & storytelling
  • Quality and intensity of the notes
  • Budget parameters
  • Availability of raw materials
  • Sensory perception and current trends

Through this meticulous process, Hortense curates a fragrance that resonates, one that captures your essence and leaves a lasting impression.
