Linda Chinery
From interviews with Takasago and Perfumer & Flavorist, Chinery describes a preference for relatively simple, modern structures built from traditional ingredients. She emphasizes dualities such as warm vs. clean and rich vs. fresh, often using a limited palette to keep the message of the scent clear and distinctive. She is influenced by travel and nature, favors gardenia among floral notes, and increasingly incorporates more sustainable and biodegradable materials.
