Thomas Fontaine
Country: France
A standout student at ISIPCA, Thomas Fontaine made a name for himself by proving adept at adapting legendary fragrances from the past to modern standards, helping Lubin revitalize the fading glory of classics like Gin Fizz and Black Jade, while also contributing raved-about modern masterpieces such as Korrigan. With a reputation for his unique ability to bridge the old and the new, Fontaine was hired in 2011 as the in-house perfumer for Designer Parfums, where his recent focus has been restoring the glory of the once-iconic Jean Patou brand.
