Aurelien Guichard
Country: France
Like most people born and raised in Grasse, the center of the perfume universe, Aurelien Guichard had an early introduction to fragrance: his family''s business involved growing the roses and jasmine used by the major perfumers. His father had already made the jump to the perfume side of things, and Aurelien followed in his footsteps by training at the Givaudan school. Upon graduation, he took a job with Givaudan, and he has worked on fragrances for companies as diverse as Bond no. 9, Davidoff, Robert Piguet, and niche favorite Ego Facto.
