The French Consulate in SF is excited to host master perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena, creator of Hermès’ gardens, at Villa Albertine San Francisco. In talks with the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco, we’re exploring a potential landscape-themed collaboration—more details soon! Ellena’s journey began in Grasse, picking jasmine with his grandmother. By 16, he was apprenticing with Antoine Chiris, later becoming the first student at Givaudan’s Perfumery School. In 1990, he co-founded the Osmothèque scent archive, and as Hermès’ in-house perfumer (2004-2016), created icons like Un Jardin sur le Nil, featured in Chandler Burr’s The Perfect Scent. Stay tuned as we explore the intersection of art, design, and fragrance, rethinking our bond with nature. 🌱
