As a person, I take pleasure in receiving and sharing. As a perfumer, I like showing and convincing.... I'm quite simply following the trajectory of an artist, someone who seeks and, sometimes, finds.

More quotes by Jean-Claude Ellena
The future does not really lie in discovering new fragrant raw materials.... In order to endure, haute perfumery is therefore condemned to inventing new olfactory promises...to finding a new form of expression.
Jean-Claude Ellena
My visitors say they noticed perfumes from different companies in my fridge, and ask what I need these for. I explain that they are mainly there as historical benchmarks of quality, below which I must not and would not want to fall.
Jean-Claude Ellena

Jean-Claude Ellena
