Antoine Lie
Antoine Lie is a French perfumer known for his bold, unconventional creations and significant impact on both mainstream and niche perfumery. Trained in chemistry and fragrance under Jean Carles and Jean Guichard, he began his career crafting hits like Armani Code and Versace Crystal Noir before shifting to niche perfumery to pursue greater creative freedom.
He has worked with avant-garde brands such as Etat Libre d’Orange, oneofthose, and Nu Be, often blending unexpected materials like vinyl, metal, and ether. Formerly a senior perfumer at Givaudan and VP at Takasago, he now runs his own studio, ALOE – Antoine Lie Olfactive Experience, in Paris, where he develops bespoke fragrances and advises on olfactory branding.

This time, the brand steps into a darker, greener world – one that feels deep, earthy, and full of quiet power.
