Perfumer
Edouard Fléchier
Edouard Fléchier, a highly talented perfumer, has made a significant impact on the fragrance industry with his remarkable creations. Born in Grasse, France, in 1949, Fléchier’s interest in fragrances began during his studies in the sciences. He went on to pursue his passion by joining the prestigious perfumery school Roure Bertrand Dupont, where his fellow students recognized his exceptional talent in creating fragrances.
Fléchier’s career as a perfumer flourished in the mid-1980s when he became Roure’s star perfumer, creating many of its iconic fragrances. Despite his success, Fléchier remains humble and devoted to his craft, starting each day with a ritual of smelling raw materials to refresh his knowledge of the fundamentals. This discipline has made his compositions precise yet modern, with unexpected twists that continue to amaze the world of fragrances.
Fléchier’s style is harmonious and generous, reflecting the tradition of classic French perfumery, but with a modern touch. His fragrances are known for their generous proportions and chic appeal, which makes them stand out. Some of his most famous compositions include Dior Poison, Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio, Frederic Malle Rose Tonnerre and Lys Mediterranee. Fléchier’s hypersensitive nose, combined with his uncompromising self-discipline, has no doubt helped cement his position as one of the most creative perfumers of his generation.
