The Noses

Douglas Morel

Douglas Morel discovered the art of perfumery at a young age. Born in northern France, he smelled spices and aromas from the kitchen and quickly made the connection between culinary arrangements and fragrances. He had his first olfactory memory in the Damascus bazaar exhaling a scent of cinnamon, cumin, and freshly ground cardamom. A powerful sensation that has never left him; he has been trying to recreate this smell ever since. After his studies at ISIPCA he began his apprenticeship at Takasago where he worked with perfumer Francis Kurkdjian who taught him how to blend a perfectly balanced composition with the right raw materials.
