Pierre Kurzenne
In an interview with Bombay Perfumery, Pierre Kurzenne highlighted his preference for natural raw materials, especially sandalwood, which he values for its milky, sensual dimension in compositions. In a video for Authentic Beauty Concept’s Glow range, he described the fragrance he created as an ultra-sensual, rich and luminous spicy accord built around dried fruits like dates and cinnamon flowers, illustrating his use of textured gourmand nuances in personal care fragrances.
