Philippe has deployed all his creativity around this raw material with a solar, sensual and intense fragrance.

For Philippe, this fragrance evokes “a walk on a golden beach with the fields of ylang-ylang on one side and the sea and its spray on the other, with a sunny facet and notes that bring freshness to the fragrance to air it out. They evoke the sea breeze and that feeling of softness and lightness in the air."

Trained at Robertet’s in-house school, Philippe is now involved in many creative projects and is exploring new olfactory horizons.

It is the third consecutive time that a young perfumer from Robertet has received this award.
