THE ART OF PERFUMERY

Alexandre Illan

The Architecture of Woods

A REMARKABLE JOURNEY

Alexandre Illan — The Architecture of Woods

Alexandre Illan's work can be approached through the texture of a composition: how an accord takes shape, how one material supports another, and how a fragrance can feel both carefully constructed and emotionally evocative.

An Exploration of Materials

Illan trained in perfumery in Grasse and later joined Symrise. Professional profiles describe his interest in raw materials, accords and textures, as well as the ability of perfume to express concrete impressions and abstract ideas.

A Focused RichandLuxe Discovery

Carved Oud by Thameen offers a focused introduction to Illan's artistry. Its woody setting invites attention to the balance of aromatic spice and layered woods, with iris and softer materials giving the composition another dimension.
