    No idea! But nicely lit offices. Is that a YSL Baby Doll bottle in the picture on the left? Maybe it would help if I could identify the flowers, but I can’t.

  • Sacre Nobi

    Good guess, but looking at a wrong bottle.

    I can’t figure out what the big bottle is, and it is driving me insane πŸ™‚ Is the smaller one next to it Chanel? Looks like a woman’s desk to me…are the perfumer’s initials S. G.? πŸ™‚

  • Sacre Nobi

    The big bottle is supposed to be the key, but now I’m not entirely sure if it’s what I think it is…
    I think the desk (in New York) looks clean but lacks character. SG’s home is in Manhattan, and her desk at IFF New York looks very SG.
    The thick black leather binder notebook – definitely an oldschool (the perfumer never uses email to communicate), but one of the most prolific.

  • Marina

    All right. Another attempt. Are the perfumer’s (male this time) initials C. B. and has he created one of the 7 Deadly Sin scents, namely, Pride?

  • Sacre Nobi

    Last hint.
    CB is as prolific and as elegant as the perfumer in question, but CB’s home is in NYC. Also he is very quick in response with email.
    The desk in the picture was used only once in a while when the perfumer came to New York from Geneva.

    I would have said, based on that, that it’s either Thierry Wasser or Alberto Morillas, but aren’t they at Firmenich?

    So I am going to say Dominique Ropion and then I give up πŸ™‚

  • Sacre Nobi

    Sorry, you missed winning my ‘candy box’…

  • Marina

    Hrmph! πŸ™

  • lilybp

    Guessing Alberto Morillas, since Marina didn’t!

  • Sacre Nobi

    Atari ! (you got it right)
    You can see him working at the desk here.
    I will send you the candy box if you could email me your mailing address to madebyblog at gmail.com.

  • lilybp

    Yay! I’m so excited–I never win anything! Mailing you right away!

  • Victoria

    The bottle is Lancome Miracle, no?

  • Sacre Nobi

    lilybp, thanks for the info. It will be mailed to you tomorrow morning.
    Victoria, I’ve never checked, but I believe it’s Miracle.

  • kuri

    very elegant!
