“The scents and aromas embedded in my memory develop into continuous links, and I must always remain connected with them. It is like a memory exercise, a task that involves the nostrils and stimulates the brain, a search for adjectives that describe a sensory experience, which is also a metaphor — a story — creation.”

“The opportunity to convey my emotions through fragrances is my mode of self-expression and of continuing to know myself and the world. The joy of giving a smell to thoughts, memories and fantasies is unparalleled and there is not much difference between creating a great perfume and writing an excellent novel.”
