Meet Hortense Calot, Fragrance Designer
The first portrait in our gallery features Hortense Calot, our Fragrance Designer. Working alongside Enzo Boulard, she holds one of the most essential yet little-known roles in our maison.

...and Enzo Boulard, Account Manager
As Account Manager, Enzo Boulard supports Hortense in selecting fragrances and overseeing the project’s journey—from the initial brief to the final signature scent.
He plays a pivotal role in understanding the client’s vision and crafting a precise, emotionally resonant brief for the perfumer.

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: your 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.
