Selected quotes
I grew up in a family not connected with the fragrance industry, but I remember from a very young age being intrigued by smell. I was very sensitive to it and suddenly at 12 or 13 years old I discovered there was such a thing as a ‘nose’. — Quoted in We recommend the Guinness… at Ponystep.
