Fragrance Creation: Finding Signature
By: Jeb Gleason-Allured, Editor
Perfumer Cecile Krakower discusses olfactive identity, the complexities of the development process and decoding fragrance vocabularies
Mane perfumer Cecile Krakower laughs when asked if she has an olfactive signature. “I’ve been told that all of my fragrances are very textural,” she says. “I find it funny that people can recognize [my scents.]” For example, she says, “I work on making [woody fragrances] so soft and silky that they feel like just another layer of skin.”
The New York-based French ex-patriot, whose portfolio includes Vertigo (Vertigo Parfums) and Yu (Mane), notes that her relationship to fragrances is less about analyzing each component material than it is about the textures and feelings they impart. “I like it when something is ‘plump.’ I’m very sensitive to that.” And though she strongly disliked fruity notes when she first entered the industry, she has steadily gained an appreciation for renditions of edible concepts such as pear—so much so that they are now part of her signature. “I like juicy scents—the ‘velvet’ feel of a peach, the fresh and watery texture of a litchi. Those sensations are amazing.”
