The Fifth Sense in the News: An Article about Jean-Claude Ellena
There is a very enjoyable and interesting article on Jean-Claude Ellena in Libération of June 26 2006. We learn personal details about his life, his olfactory likes and dislikes, certain of his odd habits due to his hatred of galaxolide, the pervasive synthetic musk found in detergents these past 30 years. His daughter Céline is also quoted; she explains movingly how her father was not keen on seeing her become a perfumer due to the tremendous pressures of the job. A look at the reality of a perfumer's life behind all the glamour.
Thank you for this link... interesting article, allowing a glimpse behind big perfumery.
