L'OFFICIEL Malaysia speaks with Daphné Bugey on her affinity for the fantastical world of perfumery and her latest Dolce Gabbana Eaux de Parfum Intense fragrances.

LOVE Scents

Daphné Bugey, a free spirit with a love of exploring the globe (from mountains to deserts), decided at the young age of 10 that she wanted to be a perfumer. The creation of fragrances that capture intangible emotions and concepts is an incredibly individual endeavour that draws from a wide range of influences. Finding inspiration in nature, she lets herself be carried away by the beautiful scents of fruits, flowers, forests and spices in her work.

She discovers fresh and unusual scents while travelling which informs her craft, alongside her experiences exploring other landscapes and civilisations. Furthermore, the depth and significance of her works are enhanced by her emotional ties and recollections. One’s culinary experiences are also influential since the scents and tastes of cuisines can empower the olfactory experience. Bugey aims to create fragrances that deeply connect with people by drawing from diverse sources to have each fragrance bring back strong feelings and memories.

L’OFFICIEL: What perfume would you create to symbolise a certain emotion?

DAPHNÉ BUGEY: If I had the opportunity to create a perfume to symbolise a feeling, I would choose to capture the essence of joy and vitality. Citrus fragrances would play a central role in this olfactory creation as they possess a unique ability to invigorate the senses and uplift the mood. Citrus notes, such as lemon, bergamot and mandarin, are renowned for their bright and refreshing aroma. Their zesty and vibrant qualities evoke a sense of freshness and energy, instantly awakening the senses and infusing the wearer with a feeling of joy and vitality.
