Born in Grasse to a family who has been in the fragrance trade since the 17th century, Olivier Cresp was destined to be a perfumer. Throughout his illustrious career he has created some of the most famous fragrances on the market: the likes of D&G Light Blue, Kenzo Amour, YSL's Black Opium and most famously, he is the man behind Thierry Mugler's Angel. In this episode we talk about Olivier's first perfumery creation at 8 years old, the creation of Angel and how its secret may be simplicity. We also talk about AKRO, the addictive niche brand he founded with his daughter. It's a must listen.
