« One of my greatest joys has been not only to recreate these scents that are inextricably linked to me but also to pour these drops of memory into bottles, thus transforming the intimate into the universal. » Carlos Benaïm
Written by Carlos in collaboration with Denyse Beaulieu, A Journey in Perfumes takes the reader on a voyage through Carlos Benaïm’s olfactory alphabet, shaped by chance encounters, travels, and experiences in cities such as Tangier, New York, Paris, Rio, Buenos Aires, and Amsterdam. These moments, etched in his memory, serve as an inexhaustible source of inspiration—where perfume is born.
With an insatiable curiosity, Carlos Benaïm retraces his journey within the fragrance composition house IFF, where he has spent his entire career. His many creations for brands such as Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Yves Saint Laurent, and Prada are emblematic in their ability to capture the essence of the world through scent. Through this book, Carlos Benaïm highlights the importance of teamwork and transmission—essential to creation—as well as the necessary harmony between poetry, art, and science.
