This week I&#39;m joined by legendary master perfumer Olivier Cresp, the nose behind iconic scents including Mugler&#39;s Angel, YSL’s Black Opium and Dolce &amp; Gabbana&#39;s Light Blue and many others.</p><p><br></p><p>We chat his creative process, why he decided to launch his own fragrance house with his daughter Anaïs, and the freedom that comes with creating something entirely personal. We also get into the addictive world of Akro and discover the inspiration behind his latest creation, Heat.</p><p><br></p><p>Plus, Olivier shares his own bathroom essentials, how he spends his (very limited!) downtime, what he sees when he looks in the mirror and the simple pleasures that make him happy.
