Thierry Bernard is the adventurous soul behind Parfumeurs du Monde, a perfumer who approaches his craft like an archaeologist, digging deep into the world of fragrance ingredients. With decades of experience and recognition as a Master Perfumer by the French Society of Perfumers, Thierry brings a unique blend of scientific knowledge and sheer passion to his creations. After earning his PhD in chemistry, he moved to Martinique, where he became known as “The Perfumer,” crafting exotic scents from the island’s rich natural resources. Returning to France, he launched ‘myfragrance.fr’ to educate others on the art of scent, and in 2016, he founded Parfumeurs du Monde, a brand that unites perfumers from all over the world, giving them creative freedom to explore one ingredient, one story, one country at a time. Each perfume is a testament to Thierry’s love for nature, his relentless curiosity, and his commitment to keeping the spirit of natural perfumery alive.

In an interview with Michelyn, back in 2022, Patrice Revillard said: “Although few of my perfumes on the market pay tribute to flowers for the moment, I love to rebuild their scent to understand how they are made. Try to capture the beauty of their smell to keep in bottles the memories to which they are attached. It’s a kind of personal work for the moment.”

Just one year after, Patrice Revillard’s dream to pay homage to flowers came to life with a project received from Thierry Bernard – a project that pushed both the creative and technical boundaries with a gardenia fragrance made entirely from natural ingredients, with no synthetics in sight. And so, Parfumeurs du Monde Blanc de Chine was born – a fragrance named after the renowned Chinese porcelain that is adored for its pure, translucent, milky-white color.

Blanc de Chine porcelain captures light in a way that feels almost magical, with a soft translucence that seems to glow from within – its surface is smooth and delicate, its beauty ethereal—intricate yet simple, pure and milky white. Just looking at this fine porcelain makes your palms curve almost as if you could feel its smooth texture even without touching it. I can’t think of a better name and inspiration than Blanc de Chine for an all-natural take on the elusive smell of gardenia. “A milky white porcelain flower with an unforgettable visual beauty and a complex olfactory power. A rhyme of thick and hypnotic petals that time is slowly rooting with sensual fumes. Disconcerting, heady and exotic, the gardenia distills the provocative character of white flowers, both untamable and languid.” – Parfumeurs du Monde Blanc de Chine as put into words by Patrice Revillard.

Parfumeurs du Monde Blanc de Chine starts with a solar gardenia, etched in the golden touch of osmanthus with its fruity-juicy facets – making it buzz with life and blush in the soft hues of gentile apricots and the fuzzy tingle of the peaches. Tinged in green, a lush wet aroma rises from the rain-drenched foliage – mouth-wateringly alive, earthy, rich. Not long after, the heart wraps in a bouquet that is both ethereal and carnal, with orange blossom and ylang-ylang slowly bringing to life all the deep and velvety facets that make gardenia one of the most loved flowers. The animalic side of gardenia draws its perfectly manicured claws with the help of a sultry jasmine, making it rounder, carnal, and drop-dead gorgeous.

Elusive yet present, velvety and smooth, creamy and sensual, our imagined perfect gardenia brings to the stage all its personalities, all taking a bow before the curtain falls and the stage slowly darkens and heats up in the presence of a hazy veil of resins and balms. Parfumeurs du Monde Blanc de Chine is one exquisite interpretation of gardenia, capturing the flower’s ethereal beauty in a fragrance that feels both naturally organic and artistically crafted – a true testament to the power of an all-natural perfume*.
