Making Scents Make Sense

D'Orsay Paris is a historic fragrance house. Originally founded in 1830 by Alfred D'Orsay, it was recently revived when jewellery designer Amelie Huynh bought the house in 2015. Amélie has transformed the house into a contemporary fragrance brand that stays true to the romantic spirit of the house, whilst offering fragrances that feel entirely modern. In this episode we talk about Amélie's relationship to fragrance, how she works with perfumers to create the D'Orsay fragrances and why their personalities play such a huge part in the process.
