PERSONNE (meaning 'Nobody' or 'Person' in French) was conceived as a continuation of an art project - conceived by French artist Laurent Derobert - which saw a group of authors and intellectuals sail around the Mediterranean Sea to collect the seeds of the plants mentioned in The Odyssey.

Following this original intention, the fragrance was bound to be natural and had to include as much of the essences of The Odyssey as technically possible, some of them – Dogwood, Elm &c. – being absent from the perfumer’s palette. The final creation is an olfactory reconstruction of The Odyssey that takes Homer’s plant into account yet goes further by translating the sense of laughter, sharing, pleasure and sensuality - the humanity that peeks through and is the substance of this epic.
