Ernest Beaux

Ernest Beaux (1881–1961) was a Russian-French master perfumer, born in Moscow and trained at the Rallet perfume house, a key player in the Russian Empire. After the Revolution he settled in France, where, as perfumer to a famous Parisian couture house, he transformed modern perfumery through his pioneering use of aldehydes and abstract floral accords.

He championed a minimalist, highly structured style in which each raw material plays its role like a note in a musical score. Founder of the Art et Parfum laboratory, he created some of the 20th century’s most influential fragrances and helped define the very notion of the modern, abstract perfume.
