There are fragrances that spark obsessions... and there are perfumers who sustain them. Chris Maurice is one of those perfumers, bearing a rich legacy from the pedigree of Spanish perfumery. Sometimes, he goes by Christian Carbonnel, and other times, by Chris Maurice. His identity shifts with his mood and is reflected in his creations. Beyond his chameleonic personality, Chris is a perfumery encyclopedia and a collector of rare batches. He vehemently rejects the isolated approach of other perfumers and stays deeply connected to the industry’s pulse, always aiming to exceed its expectations.

The robust duo of vanilla and tonka bean is at the foundation of his classic scents. Although known for his oriental profiles, Christian has a particular passion for ambrocenide, a signature element he enhances at the last moment for that dramatic, spectacular, and memorable finish. His first encounter with an exotic natural scent from Southeast Asia transformed his approach, making him fall in love with its raw charm.

PERFUMES SHOULD ANNOUNCE YOUR ARRIVAL

From Chris, the niche enthusiast should not expect subtleties or the delicate elegance of "fragile porcelain." His creations are bold, designed for the audacious spirits who dominate both olfactively and energetically.
