Jean-Claude Ellena
Jean-Claude Ellena writes with a clear, luminous olfactory voice, where bergamot and orange blossom lead before sandalwood and orris root add depth. From First for Van Cleef & Arpels in 1976, to Rumba for Ted Lapidus in 1989, and Dia Woman for Amouage in 2002, his work keeps a close attention to detail that invites you to slow down. Aldehydes and vanilla bring a quiet softness that never weighs down the trail.
