Claire Mavreen Carlos

Driven by a passion for creation and crafting, Claire is an artisan perfumer who translates creative concepts into beautifully constructed, wearable scents. Trained in both the classical Jean Carles and tailored modern methods, she approaches fragrance design as a structured symphony, creating complex accords to compose evocative olfactory experiences. With a deep respect for all raw materials and perfumery techniques, she crafts fragrances that draw vivid imagery with olfactory harmony.

Drawing inspiration from real-world aromas and imaginary scents, Claire views perfume as both hyperreal photographs and dreamlike stories. She skillfully navigates across diverse fragrance families, blending unexpected materials to create photorealistic copies of scents that transport the wearer to memories, people, and places long gone. She has gained the moniker "Gourmand Queen" for her mastery and flair in making impeccable gourmand compositions.

Today, Claire continues to push the boundaries of modern fragrance design with the crucial aid of her two cats. In the rare occasion she steps away from her perfumery table, she can be found composing music, writing short stories, reading books, curating crystals, practicing tarot, or playing computer games. For Claire, life is a continuous pursuit of storytelling - whether she is capturing a dramatic tale in an amber bottle or mapping it out through sound and prose.
