Portrait
Lucien Ferrero
Lucien Ferrero, a Grasse perfumer, is credited by L'Artisan Parfumeur among the authors of Mûre et Musc.
In 1977 Jean Laporte came to show him, along with two other perfumer friends, a blackberry-scented musk accord; together they found the balance of the fragrance, which became the house's first emblematic scent.
Career and creations
Lucien Ferrero, a perfumer from Grasse, was one of the small circle of friends to whom Jean Laporte confided his idea in 1977: an accord of musks that smelled of blackberry. With Jean-Claude Ellena and Jean-Claude Gigodot, he worked with him on the balance of what would become Mûre et Musc, launched in 1978 by L'Artisan Parfumeur.
The house, founded in 1976 and counted among the pioneers of modern niche perfumery, made it its first signature fragrance. Its formula comes down to three notes: a bright lemon, juicy blackberry and the cottony softness of white musk, a then-unprecedented contrast that evokes picking blackberries along country lanes.
