Henri Delacroix

Master Perfumer and Olfactory Artist. Born in Grasse and trained at ISIPCA, he has spent 20 years composing fragrances for both niche houses and global luxury brands.

Henri Delacroix is a "Nose" in the truest sense of the tradition. Growing up in the fields of Grasse, the world's perfume capital, he developed a profound understanding of raw materials before formally training in the chemistry of scent. His expertise covers the entire olfactory spectrum, from the harvest of May Roses to the molecular stability of synthetics. Henri writes to demystify the secretive world of perfumery, teaching readers how to train their own noses, understand fragrance families, and appreciate the artistry behind a €300 bottle of scent.
