“It’s exciting to create beauty, sensuality and excitement out of the invisible.”

Quentin Bisch's energy makes the air around him electric as he talks about perfumes. This all-encompassing passion is what led a music student and a theater company artistic director to perfumery. A one-month internship in Grasse was enough to find his true vocation and then devote several years to the study of perfume composition. The arts continue to inspire Quentin. He creates perfumes in the same way he might direct a theatrical performance using strong ideas, careful embellishments and surprising effects.
He was voted best perfumer in 2020. He has designed perfumes for Jean Paul Gaultier, Paco Rabanne, Saint Laurent, Azzaro, Mugler, Chloé, Ex Nihilo, Etat Libre d'Orange…

A woody amber nectar of rare intensity

The opening retains its irresistible burst. Black pepper electrifies the timut berry in a tonic burst with spicy facets. Little by little, the floral heart settles in and reveals a new richness: rose absolute brings a palpable density to the petal facets of the eau de parfum. It is finally in its wake that Bois Impérial Extrait asserts its distinctive identity, blending the rising elegance of Atlas cedar with the depth of leathery notes and the liqueur effects of fir balsam and labdanum. With an extraordinary persistence, Bois Impérial Extrait distils leathery, woody and balmy effects… until the end of the night and beyond.
