The
work of two master perfumers
Fleur
de Cabotine
is the creation of two great masters of their craft. Working in close
collaboration, the two accomplished “noses” Jean Claude Delville
(Firmenich New York) and Jean-Pierre Béthouart (Firmenich
Paris) have composed a fragrance that bursts with freshness and lightness
– an inspired new take on the successful classic Cabotine.
The
Paris-born Jean Claude Delville revealed his talent for the
high art of perfume from an early age. He began his perfumery training
when he was just 17, simultaneously studying perfumery design and art,
chemistry, science and fashion. After three intensive years, he earned the
title of perfumer. Today, Jean Claude Delville boasts 32 years of
professional experience. He has created fragrances for Quest, Creations
Aromatiques, IFF and Firmenich, and has lived in Europe,
Asia and the United States. In partnership with renowned houses including Estée
Lauder, Kenzo, Aramis, Parfums Grès, Yves Rocher and
Liz Claiborne Cosmetics, Jean Claude Delville has created
numerous internationally successful fragrances.
Jean-Pierre
Béthouart
discovered the world of perfume in 1971, as a 25-year-old chemist just
beginning to work for Colgate. He soon realized that creating perfumes was
his true passion, allowing him to work as an artist in the name of beauty.
Jean-Pierre Béthouart continued to refine his methods by drawing
on artistic techniques, among other things. From 1981 to 1987, the
dedicated perfumer worked for Givaudan, before ultimately moving on to
Firmenich Paris. His most celebrated creations include scents for Dior
(For Ever&Ever, Dune pour Homme), Sonia Rykiel (Belle en Rykiel),
Burberry (Burberry Touch), Versace (V/S, The Dreamer), Nina
Ricci (Les Belles de Ricci) and many other renowned labels.
