About

Olivier Durbano is a French architect by training and a jewelry designer since around 2000 who later created his own niche perfume house under his own name.[1][3][8] His fragrances are conceptually tied to his "Bijoux de Pierres Poèmes" (Perfumes of Stones Poems), with each scent inspired by a specific gemstone or stone-related legend.[1][3][8] He launched his first perfume, Rock Crystal (Cristal de Roche), in 2005 and has continued to expand the collection with numerous stone-themed compositions.[3][7][8] Durbano develops his fragrances independently for his eponymous brand, and they are closely connected to his work in gemstone jewelry and symbolic, talismanic themes.[1][2][8]
