English, he moved to Germany at eight, trained in Hamburg, settled in \u003cstrong\u003eParis\u003c\/strong\u003e, and founded his house in \u003cstrong\u003e2008\u003c\/strong\u003e. One anecdote sums him up: at \u003cstrong\u003e21 years old\u003c\/strong\u003e, he appeared on the German game show \u003cem\u003eWetten, dass…?\u003c\/em\u003e wagering that he could identify any perfume by scent — \u003cstrong\u003ehe correctly identified all five presented to him\u003c\/strong\u003e. His formula: “a perfume should be like a good jazz song — vibrant and harmonious.” The \u003cstrong\u003eFreedom Collection\u003c\/strong\u003e was composed with \u003cstrong\u003eDavid Chieze\u003c\/strong\u003e, his right-hand man; the house claims \u003cstrong\u003ethree signature materials\u003c\/strong\u003e common to all four of its launch fragrances — \u003cstrong\u003evetiver, ambergris, and davana\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAn opening of bergamot, angelica, and pear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBergamot\u003c\/strong\u003e opens as it should in a fougère. But the \u003cstrong\u003eangelica\u003c\/strong\u003e is \u003cstrong\u003eoverdosed\u003c\/strong\u003e here, which the house claims: a green, earthy, musky root that naturally contains \u003cstrong\u003eExaltolide\u003c\/strong\u003e, a musk found in its seeds. And \u003cstrong\u003epear\u003c\/strong\u003e, a round and juicy fruit, is not part of the repertoire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA heart of lavender, geranium, and chamomile\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLavender\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003egeranium\u003c\/strong\u003e form the classic heart of any fougère: one aromatic and camphoraceous, the other rosy and green. \u003cstrong\u003eChamomile\u003c\/strong\u003e, meanwhile, adds a herbal and apple-like bitterness that is never found in them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA base of patchouli, tonka bean, and osmanthus\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePatchouli\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003etonka bean\u003c\/strong\u003e classically close the fragrance — tonka's coumarin is the founding material of the genre. Then \u003cstrong\u003eosmanthus\u003c\/strong\u003e arrives: a Chinese flower with facets of apricot and leather, foreign to the fougère, and it is what gives the base the leathery note claimed by the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe house's approach\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll the building blocks of the fougère are there, and three intruders displace them.\u003c\/strong\u003e The fougère is a genre defined since \u003cstrong\u003e1882\u003c\/strong\u003e by an almost fixed formula: lavender, geranium, coumarin, oakmoss. The house keeps the whole — lavender, geranium, patchouli, tonka bean — then slips in a \u003cstrong\u003epear\u003c\/strong\u003e “for modernity,” a \u003cstrong\u003echamomile\u003c\/strong\u003e, and an \u003cstrong\u003eosmanthus\u003c\/strong\u003e, and overdoses the \u003cstrong\u003eangelica\u003c\/strong\u003e. The result remains identifiable as a fougère while no longer being quite one. It is the same exercise as with \u003cem\u003eWhy Not a Cologne?\u003c\/em\u003e: take a codified genre and shift it one step further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFor whom, for what occasions?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those who love \u003cstrong\u003earomatics\u003c\/strong\u003e and know the genre well enough to appreciate its displacement.
