Dominique Ropion

Dominique is a unique Master, a dreamer, a liberator, a scent architect, devoted to the quest for a formal aesthetics of fragrance. There’s that word: smell. It’s at the heart of Dominique’s reactor, his passion, and his core. He experienced his own apprenticeship in smells as a journey. Dominique sees perfumery as a living process: "Trying to create emotions in your fellow men is an almost poetic undertaking. The art of assembling smells, like the art of playing with sounds, helps build bonds of community, religion, or love. It brings people a step closer together. It invites them to take an interest in each other, even just to see what others smell like. I’m still a dreamer, anchored in other people’s reality, spurred on by their desires."
