Here’s a quiz.

There’s another perfumer who shared the same dream of becoming a concert pianist. Is it Jacques Cavallier, Loc Dong, Thierry Wasser, Olivier Polge or Annick Menardo?

The winner of this quiz will receive AU.WOOD.029 by Laurent Le Guernec. The winner will be announced here (in the comment section) in one week.

  1. I’d say it’s Annick Menardo.

  3. Hmmm… I think it’s either Jacques or Thierry… can’t make up my mind !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  4. I’d say Loc Dong. Don’t think it is Olivier as I’m sure perfumery has been his one ambition. Wish *my* father was Jacques Polge :)

  5. I’d say it is Polge exactly *because* of his father :-) Perhaps his genes were pushing him towards perfumery while his heart was in music…aw, what a story I made up here, worthy a Hallmark movie :-D

  6. Marina, I read an interview with J. Polge where he said he’d tried to dissuade his son from following in his footsteps (nosesteps?), but failed as the young one was very eager to become a perfumeur.
    I also read about Loc Dong’s aspirations for medicine. There have been quite a few cases of the two going hand in hand, so I thought I’d have a go.

  7. Thanks everyone. The answer is Thierry Wasser. I think Tita hasn’t answered the quiz, and there’s no winner this time.

    Socalsocool and Beatrice, Annick Menardo had a passion for dance but not for playing piano.

    Tita, you should have tried to finish your answer.

    Dusan, as you mentioned, Loc Dong had pursued medicine first. Loc is very grounded in reality. He wouldn’t pursue something that lacks financial stability.

    Marina, Jacques Cavallier, Olivier Polge, they were both born to be perfumers. I like the idea of a Hallmark movie, though.

  8. Oh well, hope I get it right next time :-D
    Makes sense now what you said about Loc Dong…
    One more thing - didn’t Annick want to pursue psychiatry when she was younger?

    Comment by Dusan — October 26, 2006 #

  9. Dusan, that’s also true, too. She might have made a great psychiatrst. Those perfumers’ bios tell mostly what others can associate their perfumery styles.

    Annick has been known as one of the most difficult to work with, but among the perfumers that I have worked with she’s the most interesting person along with Sophia Grojsman (I have a sweet spot for female perfumers :-D). She is extremely intelligent and the most artistic. When I think about her it’s so unfortunate that perfumery hasn’t been a pure art form. She would have been the Matthew Barney of “contemporary art perfumery.”
