Apex Eau Intense
Eau de Parfum
Roja Dove
From published descriptions of his work, Cotton often explores vibrant, modern chypre and green constructions, exemplified by Apex Eau Intense with its pomelo, rose oxide, chlorophyll accord and salted driftwood. Isola Verde further shows his interest in sunlit, verdant themes and Mediterranean freshness. TREND x Antoine Cotton for CZAR highlights his preference for concise, high-impact formulas that balance classical French refinement with contemporary clarity and structure.
Antoine Cotton is a French perfumer born in Grasse and raised in nearby Cabris, in the heart of France’s historic perfume region. He studied perfumery at the École Supérieure du Parfum in Paris, completing multiple internships before joining Argeville in Mougins as a junior perfumer in 2022, where he trained under senior perfumers and was later promoted to perfumer in 2025. In late 2024 he was welcomed as the first named in-house perfumer at Roja Parfums alongside founder Roja Dove, a notable shift for the British brand, which had previously credited only Dove. Under Dove’s mentorship, Cotton composed Apex Eau Intense and Isola Verde for Roja Parfums, both launched in 2025, and he has also created TREND x Antoine Cotton for the brand CZAR, presented at the Teeb AlHazm Perfume Expo in Qatar in 2025.
