IV.The Perfumer
Léa Reverdy — Grasse, 2024

A perfumer who works
in silence.

Léa Reverdy was born above her grandfather's distillery in the hills outside Grasse. She trained at ISIPCA and spent eleven years composing for two of the great Parisian houses before withdrawing to her own workshop in 2018.

She founded CINDR with a single conviction: that a fragrance should not be made in less time than it takes to remember it.

Her practice is monastic — no briefs, no marketing direction, no seasonal launches. A composition begins when a material arrives that has not been heard from in some years. It is finished when she stops returning to it.

Eight fragrances, in seven years. She has said she will release no more than twelve in her lifetime.

Léa Reverdy — Master Perfumer
V.The Atelier

Eight hundred metres above Grasse.

The workshop is a converted stone barn at the edge of a terraced field. Copper stills, glass alembics, a north-facing window. Three people work here — Léa, a senior chemist, and an apprentice in her second year.

We practise the old methods: cold enfleurage for jasmine and tuberose, six-hour steam distillation for vetiver, slow maceration of resins in pure ethanol for twelve to eighteen months. Nothing leaves the room in a hurry.

  • 01.Cold enfleurage — three weeks per harvest
  • 02.Maceration — twelve to eighteen months
  • 03.Bottling — by hand, in numbered batches
