Jean-Louis Sieuzac

Jean-Louis Sieuzac, a seminal figure in contemporary perfumery, began his illustrious career at Roure, now Givaudan. His time there allowed him to hone his craft under the guidance of industry greats, leading to the creation of iconic fragrances. In 1976, Sieuzac made waves with *Kouros* for Yves Saint Laurent—a bold, animalistic scent that stirred controversy but eventually became a classic. This groundbreaking work showcased his ability to challenge norms and push olfactory boundaries.

Sieuzac’s legacy includes masterpieces such as *Bel Ami* for Hermès, *Dune* and *Fahrenheit* for Dior, and *Opium* for Yves Saint Laurent. His collaborations with Shiseido, Oscar de la Renta, and Eden Classic further illustrate his versatility and innovation. After joining Florasynth, now Symrise, in 1998, Sieuzac continued to influence the fragrance world with his unique vision, allowing his creations to speak volumes in his stead. His work remains a testament to his profound impact on the art of perfumery.
