Statement
Marie Hugentobler
Known for relatively short, concise formulas that use only a tight selection of materials, often with a polished, balanced structure. Brand profiles highlight her affinity for woods and spices, with frequent use of fresh, sparkling pink pepper, green cardamom with its citrusy and floral facets, and marine-fresh notes such as Calone, as seen in compositions like Atelier Materi’s woody-iris and ambrette-centered fragrances.
