Jean-Claude Ellena moved to Paris when he was young, but he also lived in New York and Geneva and learnt his skills in the most prominent labs. Furthermore, at the age of 75, he was acclaimed as one of the best perfumers of all time.
His perfumes are characterized for being little condensed and inspired by the simplicity of the daily routine. Besides, he describes his fragrances by saying: “perfume, story of and scent, is the poetry of memories and the creation of the soul”.
He worked exclusively for Hermès for 12 years, but he has also collaborated with leading firms such as Perris Montecarlo or Acqua Di Parma. He is the author of distinguished fragrances such as Lavande Romaine and Le Jardin de Monsieur Li. You can purchase his creations at BeautyTheShop.
