25: The Es-scent-ial Work Perfumers Do Everyday

Rodrigo Flores-Roux is the nose behind some of the most popular fragrances you've been spritzed with at the mall (Clinique Happy, John Varvatos, Britney Spears Hidden Fantasy), as well as some of the most celebrated niche, luxury perfumes that he was contractually unable to discuss with us (rhymes with Chom Board). Flores-Roux has been in the scent game since the 1990s, having created probably over 300 perfumes (he lost count). He graciously tells us all about his journey from studying biology in his home country of Mexico, to perfume school in France, and becoming a Master Perfumer at Givadaun, one of the world's most prestigious fragrance houses, here in NYC.
