SÉBASTIEN CRESP IS A TALENTED PERFUMER WHO HAS BEEN WORKING WITH FIRMENICH FOR OVER 13 YEARS. HE WAS BORN IN FRANCE AND IS THE SON OF FAMOUS PERFUMER OLIVIER CRESP. GROWING UP WITH A FATHER IN THE FRAGRANCE INDUSTRY, SÉBASTIEN WAS EXPOSED TO THE ART OF PERFUMERY FROM A YOUNG AGE, AND HE KNEW FROM AN EARLY AGE THAT HE WANTED TO FOLLOW IN HIS FATHER’S FOOTSTEPS. HAILING FROM NEUILLY-SUR-SEINE IN ÎLE-DE-FRANCE, FRANCE, SÉBASTIEN’S TALENT IS MATCHED ONLY BY HIS IMPRESSIVE LINGUISTIC ABILITIES. HE IS FLUENT IN SEVERAL LANGUAGES, INCLUDING FRENCH, ENGLISH, SPANISH, AND ITALIAN, WHICH HAS UNDOUBTEDLY HELPED HIM TO CONNECT WITH CLIENTS AND COLLEAGUES FROM ALL AROUND THE WORLD.

SÉBASTIEN STUDIED AT THE GRASSE INSTITUTE OF PERFUMERY, WHERE HE HONED HIS SKILLS AND LEARNED THE ART OF FRAGRANCE COMPOSITION. AFTER COMPLETING HIS STUDIES, HE JOINED FIRMENICH AS A TRAINEE PERFUMER, WHERE HE WORKED UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF SOME OF THE MOST TALENTED PERFUMERS IN THE INDUSTRY.

OVER THE YEARS, SÉBASTIEN HAS BECOME KNOWN FOR HIS ABILITY TO CREATE FRAGRANCES THAT ARE BOTH IMPACTFUL AND INNOVATIVE. HE HAS WORKED ON A WIDE RANGE OF PROJECTS, INCLUDING BODY CARE PRODUCTS SUCH AS SHAMPOOS AND SHOWER GELS, AS WELL AS FINE FRAGRANCES FOR BOTH MEN AND WOMEN.

ONE OF SÉBASTIEN’S MOST NOTABLE FRAGRANCES IS THE CONFESSIONS OF A REBEL COLOGNE, WHICH HE CREATED WITH A CONTRAST OF HOT AND ICY INGREDIENTS TO CREATE AN EROTIC FRAGRANCE. HE HAS ALSO WORKED ON FRAGRANCES FOR BRANDS SUCH AS NATURA, ORIFLAME, BATH & BODY WORKS, AND VICTORIA’S SECRET.
