\"Jacques<\/p>\n

Jacques Cavallier was born in Grasse in January 1962. He comes from a very old family that has been living there since the 15th<\/sup> century. No wonder he became a perfumer as perfumery runs in his veins \u2013 both his father and his grandfather were perfumers. When he was a child, he spent several hours a day studying raw materials – he remembers he was particularly fond of natural materials. This time was well spent, given the fact that his creations make millions of people around the world happy and special.<\/p>\n

After his father taught him everything he knew about raw natural materials, Jacques Cavallier joined Naarden (Quest) in Grasse and then was transferred to the Netherlands. He was next appointed at PFW in 1988 and then at Firmenich in 1990. At that time he was only 28 years old \u2013 it was then that he met 2 people who would have great influence on his successful career as a perfumer: Alberto Morillas, his „brother in creation“ and Chantal Roos who taught him „how to work and impose his choices“.<\/p>\n

When it comes to perfumes and their influence on the personality, Jacques Cavallier thinks that, \u201cA perfume is very personal, and can be perceived in many different ways. There are indeed two major approaches: the fragrance can be considered as a mirror of one\u2019s personality, or be adapted depending on mood or seasons.\u201d<\/p>\n
