Clement Gavarry

For Clement Gavarry, perfumery was his birthright: he is the fourth generation to live a life steeped in fragrance creation. At fifteen, Clement began annual fragrance-related summer internships enjoying "being a detective finding clues and analyzing ingredients" in the field of chromatography - his specialty at university. An early work experience in New York brought an epiphany: he should become a perfumer. He entered ISIPCA, the school of Perfumery in Versailles, graduating with a Master's Degree and a Diploma in Organic Chemistry.

Clement thinks of his creations as "a balance of heart and mind." He is a perfectionist who prefers to focus intently on a project, often finding it hard to "let go" and finish his fragrances. "I love to truly get to know my formula. Only then can I find the best balance."
