French perfumer Quentin Bisch, born in Strasbourg in 1983, has risen to become one of the most sought-after perfumers in the fragrance industry. He initially faced discouragement from pursuing a career in perfumery due to his more artistic than scientific inclination but persevered to create over 140 perfumes as of 2023. Bisch’s exceptional talent lies in crafting memorable fragrances that span various markets and demographics, working with both designer and luxury brands, including names like Amouage, Azzaro, Bottega Veneta, Carolina Herrera, Chloe, Etat Libre D’Orange, Jean Paul Gaultier, L’Artisan Parfumeur, Missoni, Paco Rabanne, Parfum De Marly, Thierry Mugler, Van Cleef & Arpels, Victor & Rolf, and Zadig & Voltaire.
Bisch’s journey in perfumery began in 2013 when he was a junior perfumer. He created Etat Libre D’Orange La Fin Du Monde, inspired by a book about the End of the World, offering an unusual, quirky, and wearable woody gourmand fragrance with notes reminiscent of popcorn.
Quentin Bisch’s Very Good Girl for Carolina Herrera, launched in 2021, is a mouthwatering, bright fruity floral fragrance that comes in a distinctive high heel bottle. The fragrance boasts top notes of litchi and red currant, a heart of rose, and a base of creamy vanilla and green vetiver.
Bisch is also known for the Delina series for Parfums de Marly. Delina, a cult perfume on social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok, is celebrated as one of the best feminine fragrances. Delina features a delightful combination of tart lychee, tangy rhubarb, and fresh bergamot. Delina Exclusif delves into deeper, richer territory with vanilla, oud, and a rose frosted with sweetness. Delina La Rosee portrays a dewy rose blooming in the morning after a night’s rain.
Quentin Bisch showcases his talent for understanding feminine fragrances with Zadig & Voltaire Girls Can Say Anything. This deeply floral amber Fougère takes on a typically masculine scent profile but reinterprets it with iris, peony, sweet vanilla, and soft musk. The fragrance is designed for women who embrace their identities and reject preconceptions.
Bisch’s Chloe Nomade departs from the brand’s traditional soft florals, offering a modern chypre. The scent combines citrus top notes with a powdery rose heart, eventually leading to a mossy base of woods and oakmoss. This free-spirited fragrance has quickly become the most beloved Chloe perfume.
To reinvent Thierry Mugler’s Angel, Bisch created Thierry Mugler Angel Muse. This new generation of Angel blends hazelnut cream candy floss with vetiver, introducing a fresh, elegant, and addictive femininity to the Thierry Mugler Angel line. Angel Muse is hailed as the first “vetiver gourmand” for women, offering a unique and captivating olfactory experience.
