Harry Fremont

Harry Fremont knew perfumery was his calling over horticulture when he recreated the smell of lilac at ISIPCA. His creations include CK One, Tom Ford Noir de Noir, YSL Mon Paris and more. “When you love what you do, you try to understand all aspects of it — and what you do takes on a different color and texture,” says Fremont.
