What a wonderful, humble, spirited guest Olivier is! I smiled listening to his stories of inspiration, testing prototypes with his wife as she strolled through markets, and tailoring his combinations with insights received from trusted sources (eg. the blending of mate in tea fragrances, or use of birch for smoke in tobacco). Thank you both for sharing, we appreciate it so much and hope you’re all having a lovely time. 💙
I finally splurged (after buying 2 discover sets) and purchased a full bottle of Smoke! This fragrance reminds me of my dear father (he passed away over 20 years ago). It smells like fresh tobacco, rolling paper, and the first puff of smoke. I have a hard time explaining what it smells like when I wear it or how it makes me feel....comfort, love, strengthen. I do not smoke, but this smells divine on my skin!
It's very very early in Bangkok right now so I'll watch the whole interview a bit later. I don't own any of Mr. Creap's creations at the moment but I admire him nonetheless. A true legend of my generation. Waiting for Akro's samples to arrive.
Persolaise…one of the best interviewers ever. I see a compilation of your interviews in print being a best seller. Angel …I have so many stories about that one. Looking forward to smelling Akro! Thanks!
What a wonderful interview! Yesterday I used Moschino Uomo?. Such a beautiful Italian style summer fragrance from the nineties. It's happy, fresh, sweet, woody, without citrus but with a beautiful kumquat coriander Brazilian rosewood accord. Long lasting and soo nice. Monsieur Cresp is a master perfumer indeed!
Possibly the greatest interview with a perfumer ever. I’ve seen quite a few but this is my favorite 🤩 two legends in one vid and can’t wait t try out Akro Smoke
This man created my favourite perfumes : L'eau par Kenzo, Black Opium, Lacoste pour Femme, Valentina, YSL Mon Paris , Eros pour Femme ,Midnight Poison, Ange ou Demon ,Angel, Light Blue, Noa , Jesus del Pozo Duende, Boucheron Place Vendome , 90%of the Nina's beautiful perfumes.... I know the list is longer but I didn't try all his creations, I'm sure I'll discover many more wonderful scents.
Wonderful! I loved listening to Olivier’s valuable insights. Such lovely memories over the course of an extensive career. The story of his neighbours inquiring about Angel in the building is especially endearing. Regards from Canada 🍁
Lovely interview 🙌🏻 and indeed, wonderful to share the perfume passion for a few moments with such an esteemed craftsman and artist as Monsieur Cresp… And I’m going to order the Akro samples soon, because you both have made me very curious!
brilliant discussion thanks! love his work on the Akro line and own a bottle of Awake (by far my fave coffee-centric scent) & Haze which is extremely original. look forward to the 7th release and would love to hear even more detail about the scents...seems like Mr Cresp is happy to talk at length about the compositions :)
Great master perfumer! I love dune pour homme, Versace men eau fraiche, the new Gentleman by givenchy....among others! But with all respect I can't stand angel is too overwhelming & gives me headaches too! But his body of work is huge👍🏆 great interview mate! Cheerio🥂
Bonsoir Dariush and Olivier! An Angel question if I may. I’d love to know… is the legend true that when Monsieur Mugler smelt your first submission for Angel, he asked you to make it ‘weirder’? How did you add the ‘weirdness’? Xx

Ah, how fascinating that it has a deeply emotional effect on you too.
Wow Olivier Cresp is an absolute gent. Very knowledgeable, but fun and honest with it.
Agreed.
Many thanks for watching.
One of my favourite perfumers..thank you Mr P ❤

My local perfume shop just started carrying the Akro line so I'm excited to try them. Excellent interview, Mr. P!
Wonderful. I hope you like them. And thanks for watching.

Many thanks for watching. Angel is certainly polarising.
@@Persolaise absolutely! You're welcome🙏
Arrange a second interview please. :) I love Night, Haze, Smoke and Malt. Great and different perfumery.
Maybe we should have him back when they release the 7th one.
I will always love Elle, creations of Cacharel, of course Femme Lacoste. Indeed, secret in simplicity.
I seem to remember liking Elle too.
Thanks for watching.
Great conversation but unfortunately Akro is not present in Doha n they don't ship to Doha........
That's a shame. Maybe they will one day soon.
Thanks for watching.

Thanks for this, Alice. I think I've read this somewhere too.
Makes sense your daughter's name is Anaïs... 💜
Thank you for watching.
