Statement
Martine Pallix
Documented work such as Comme des Garçons Odeur 53 and Odeur 71 highlights Pallix’s interest in abstract, concept-driven perfumery built around unconventional and synthetic notes, evoking everyday or “non-perfume” smells rather than classical floral or oriental accords. By contrast, her Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme (1992) shows she can also construct a more traditional feminine composition within a designer context.
