Julien Rasquinet

From Business School to the Art of Fragrance

Julien Rasquinet’s journey to becoming one of today’s most influential perfumers began unexpectedly. After graduating from business school with no clear intention of entering perfumery, his life changed when legendary perfumer Pierre Bourdon recognized his potential and offered him mentorship. This encounter led to an intensive three-year training that laid the foundation for his distinctive creative approach.

His early olfactory memories stem from Normandy—freshly cut grass, damp forest air, and ripe apples—complemented by coastal impressions from Knokke-le-Zoute. These sensory experiences continue to shape his creative language.

With a background in the visual arts, including painting and costume design, Rasquinet developed a natural ability to approach fragrance as a storytelling medium. His passion for scent began early, collecting perfumes from the age of 14—a hobby that eventually became his calling.

After completing his training, Rasquinet worked independently before joining Creed from 2010 to 2014, where he created the bestseller Royal Oud.

A pivotal chapter followed at IFF in Dubai, where he immersed himself in Middle Eastern perfumery traditions. This experience profoundly influenced his style, leading to richer compositions, bold dosages, and emotionally powerful fragrances.
