Cécile Matton

Perfumery is a highly complex field in which very few chosen ones achieve real recognition. Indeed, it involves a subtle association of art and chemistry, two worlds far apart from one another and yet inseparable when it comes to creating perfumes.

Also, in order to create fragrances, many perfumers travel the world to find raw materials that serve as sources of inspiration. It is notably far from here that Cécile Matton was initiated to scents…

The exoticism of Cécile Matton

Do not be fooled by her long blonde hair, Cécile Matton indeed comes from a faraway land. Originally from a family of adventurers, she developed her senses in Zaire. Indeed, it is in this stretch of Black Africa that she lived as a child. She thus became imbued with the many elements of the surrounding nature, both through their texture and their scent. Picture it: white sandbanks, red earth, intensely green vegetation, a blue sky cut through by the bright yellow of the sun… These are the sensory memories that dwell in Cécile Matton's mind. Nevertheless, she initially pursued studies in pharmacy. This nonetheless allowed her to redirect herself toward chemistry and then perfumery. It is in this way that Cécile Matton returned to her first love.

The inimitable style of Cécile Matton

Cécile Matton has managed to preserve an energy and a unique signature from her upbringing on the other side of the globe. She possesses an extraordinary energy that she enjoys expressing in perfumes as well as in jewelry. Very deft with her hands, she draws, polishes and sets the jewelry herself. This jack-of-all-trades is eager for discovery. She generally loves gourmand, sensual and fruity fragrances. Among her favorite raw materials, Orcanox stands out as a favorite. It is a woody material, full of sap and intensely natural. Likewise, musk is an ingredient that fascinates her, at once soft as skin, addictive, capable of leading to love. It is thus a little of her life that Cécile Matton tells in each of her fragrances. A festive and always highly energizing atmosphere runs through them.

Now a perfumer at Mane, Cécile Matton has many fragrances to her credit. Nevertheless, it is unquestionably for Viktor & Rolf that she signed the work that most resembles her. It is called Bonbon and is infinitely gourmand. Nevertheless, rest assured, this blockbuster will not make you gain a single gram, so enjoy it!
