O:What excites you the most?

M:I’m an easy going person, everything I do, with family, friends, excites me. I think I have found the perfect balance between my hobby (some people call it job) and the rest of time I spend.

O:Are you hedonist? How does it affect your work?

M:I try to be a hedonist in my hobby, it’s very challenging and sometimes very frustrating , but I hate looking back, hate repeating myself, so I have no choice , but it works rather well… hi hi- :)

O:How do you wear perfume if at all?

M:I created a fragrance in my black series , which is a Vetiver theme, called Emotional Drop, I put it on every morning. It makes me smile, gives me energy, and hundreds of people have told me, that I smell wonderful. By the way Vetiver from Haiti, is my all time favorite ingredient.

O:What is your favourite time spent alone with yourself?

M:Normandy in my country house, either just glancing in the open chimney fire or glancing over the valley, watching the cows under the apple trees, playing in the meadows.

O:Do you have any daily creative practices to keep you on?

M:I still do a lot of mixing myself in the lab, which means every product I use in the formula I smell it, keeps the nose sharp.

O:In your other interviews you have mentioned the preciousness of freedom and your happiness of running an independent company that chooses the brands it creates for. What’s your criteria to join a project?

M:I would say that the main criteria to work on a project, especially if it’s a new client, is the feeling, emotion the client gives us. The brief its self, is it new, interesting enough, there is always a fit or dialogue which hast to pass, perhaps in one sentence, “the feeling & emotion, between the two parties hast to fit”.
