Career and creations
The son of scent traders, Pierre Negrin learned his craft in a laboratory rather than at school, Amouage explains. The years he spent in Mexico and then New York shaped, according to the house, a cosmopolitan and pragmatic style, able to capture the full complexity of the densest balsams and absolutes.
For Amouage, he created Interlude Man in 2012. The house describes it as a spicy, woody fragrance inspired by chaos and disorder, which hides at its heart a moment of harmony, an interlude. The opening is dry, almost rough: bergamot clashes with oregano and allspice. Then the composition gathers around frankincense, amber, labdanum and opoponax, a dense, golden smoke. The base of leather, oud, patchouli and sandalwood gives it its gravity.
Amouage does not specify his training or the fragrance company he works for.
