Arnaud Poulain

After long experience in independent perfumery, Arnaud Poulain founded Les Eaux Primordiales in 2015. Hyperactive, inquisitive and demanding, he shows boundless creativity and does not hesitate to shake up the established codes of perfumery to serve unforgettable olfactory experiences. A visionary artist, engineer and lover of the earth, he uses his many talents to fashion his fragrances as genuine works of art. His inspiration is sparked by a stream of consciousness: childhood reminiscences or emotions in reaction to a work of art.

The perfumer uses his visual memory to breathe life into his olfactory creations. Painting, photography, and the emotions they conjure up, endlessly fuel his creativity. His constant quest for excellence and authenticity drives him in a never-ending innovative process. This craftsman of dreams carries in his wake ambitious plans for the future of Les Eaux Primordiales.
