Carlos Benaïm

Carlos Benaïm is a Master Perfumer and one of the living legends of modern perfumery. Son of a pharmacist who distilled plants and flowers as a hobby, Carlos’ earliest childhood recollections are the smells of Tangiers. The distinctive violet scent of his grandfather’s tobacco, the pennyroyal essence that lingered on his father’s hands after a day working with medicinal herbs, the odor of the markets where Berber women would come from the mountains to sell their wares – this rich tapestry of memories from the southern Mediterranean provides a distinctive twist to Carlos’ approach to perfume.
