The Society of Scent met with Eric Charles-Donatien recently during one of his business trips to New York. We instantly connected over our commitment to maintaining the skill-sets and traditions of Craftsmen and Artisans and share the same respect for nature’s raw materials, which carry so much beauty long before we start transforming them. Eric and The Society of Scent aim for the same elevated goal of creating greatness and beauty through an ethical approach based on transparency and love for our craft.

As artists, we also shared the same notion that the exchange of ideas and the transmission of knowledge favors creative disruption and triggers innovation through cross-pollination. Eric Charles-Donatien and The Society of Scent will collaborate on a fantastic accessory, made to measure, that will be a modern haute couture illustration of the Art of Perfumery.
