Perfume: from a simple product to a truly immersive experience

Nearly 50 brands, both French and international, from niche labels to private collections, will unveil their creations to the noses of curious visitors.
The fragrance houses, whose perfumers usually work behind the scenes, will also be in the spotlight, alongside a major producer of natural raw materials, offering a glimpse into the heart of the creative process.
Pop-up galleries , veritable showcases of innovation, offer brands the opportunity to tell unique olfactory stories, immersing the public in a novel sensory world. These spaces become theaters of experimentation, where one can explore the subtleties of raw materials, understand the creative process, and meet the passionate artisans behind each fragrance.
A very special guest: Jean-Claude Ellena
This year, Paris Perfume Week will welcome a renowned guest: Jean-Claude Ellena, an exceptional perfumer known for his refined and minimalist work. Formerly the nose of Hermès, he revolutionized the approach to perfume by adopting a simplified palette and prioritizing quality over quantity. His creative approach is based on the search for the essential, eliminating the superfluous to retain only the pure emotion of the fragrance.
Ellena will share his experience during an exclusive masterclass, scheduled for March 23 at 18 p.m., where he will discuss his career and iconic creations, such as Bulgari 's Eau Parfumée au Thé Vert . A unique opportunity to learn more about his creative process and his perpetual quest for olfactory simplicity and elegance.
Furthermore, he will explain his unique approach, which consists of reducing the complexity of compositions to achieve a pure and accessible olfactory expression. This process, which he calls "olfactory minimalism," gives rise to timeless creations that leave a lasting impression through their refined simplicity.
A captivating olfactory program
The Bastille Design Center will also host original exhibitions, creative workshops, conferences, and roundtables (Smell Talks), all of which contribute to the richness and diversity of this event. These interactive sessions will offer visitors the opportunity to engage with perfumers, providing a deeper understanding of the subtle art of olfactory creation.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to discover emerging trends in the fragrance industry, ranging from sustainable ingredients to new essence extraction technologies. These advancements allow brands to offer innovative products while respecting the environment.
