Hélène Prévot

France Born 1973 URBIS PARFUMS

Prévot’s signature is strongly narrative and botanical, drawing on Carl von Linné’s floral clock: twelve perfumes, each interpreting a flower at the hour when its scent is at its peak. Her work in L’Horloge de Flore and creations like En un Tour de Cadran show a modern take on classical structures such as fougère, often blended with ambery warmth and designed to be shared by all genders. As an independent perfumer in Grasse, she frequently develops bespoke, niche and luxury compositions tailored to specific brand identities and briefs.

About

Hélène Prévot is a French perfumer based in Grasse, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, where she works as an independent creative perfumer and founder of HF Perfumes.

She created her company HF Perfumes in 2014/2015 to compose bespoke fragrances for brands and private clients from Grasse. In 2022 she launched her own niche perfume line L’Horloge de Flore, a collection of twelve fragrances inspired by Carl von Linné’s floral clock concept. Within this range she authored En un Tour de Cadran (2023), a fougère amber fragrance in the Les Signatures Créatives collection.
