Statement
Stéphanie Bakouche
Sources note Bakouche’s preference for woody and oriental structures often combined with herbal notes and spices. Her work ranges from the aromatic fougère style of MDCI Invasion Barbare to floral and floral-oriental compositions such as Rose Privée for L’Artisan Parfumeur and Bataille de Fleurs for Cloon Keen Atelier, reflecting a focus on expressive, dynamic accords rather than minimalism.
