Fabrice Pellegrin’s world smells of jasmine fields and the warm, earthy aroma of Grasse, his hometown and the heart of French perfumery. It’s in this landscape—where his grandmother picked jasmine, his grandfather sourced naturals, and his father created scents—that Fabrice first found his love for the craft. For him, Grasse is a place of secrets and stories, where knowledge is shared sparingly, but wholeheartedly.

From the start, Fabrice was steeped in this tradition. At Robertet and Mane, he developed fragrances for the likes of Thierry Mugler, Diptyque, and Hermès, before joining Firmenich in 2008. His talent with naturals, honed early on, helped him leave a distinct mark across an impressive portfolio, from Armani Privé and Jo Malone to L’Artisan Parfumeur. Each scent carries a piece of Grasse, a hint of his roots, and his unique ability to balance nature’s raw intensity with elegance.

THE ART OF STAYING CONNECTED

For Fabrice, creating fragrances is about staying connected to the soul of his craft and the people who wear it. He sees scent as a shared experience, passed down from teacher to student, creator to wearer. And he’s made it his mission to pass on what he’s learned, describing perfumery as “constantly reinventing itself, as long as we’re willing to share.” Grounded, passionate, and a true master of his materials, Fabrice Pellegrin continues to blend tradition with innovation, always drawing from the heritage of Grasse while creating fragrances that resonate well beyond it.
