The Fragrance Manifesto

 

SHOCK, INSTINCTS, INVISIBLE JEWELLERY, FREEDOM, IMBALANCE

These are the concepts used by Mathilde Laurent, Cartier Perfumer, to express her inspired and singular vision of fragrance. 

In five stances that scupper the myths and clichés rampant in the world of fragrance, she defines what fragrance is not.

 

THIS IS HER MANIFESTO

Perfume is not a nosegay. It is a shock.

Perfume is not a routine. It is invisible jewellery.

Perfume is not sanitised.  It awakens our instincts.

Perfume is not a gender. It is the freedom of self.

Perfume is not harmony. It is imbalance.
