The more experience you have, the more you understand every facet of the materials you use. My favourite would be ginger, rose and vetiver.

JEAN CHARLES MIGNON

Senior Perfumer

Jean-Charles Mignon is a French perfumer whose olfactory journey has been shaped by a lifetime immersed in nature, chemistry, and creative expression. Born in the floral heart of Poitiers, France, Jean-Charles has always felt a deep, sensory connection to the world around him – a connection that ultimately blossomed into a fully-fledged career in perfumery.

Now a Senior Perfumer at CPL Aromas in the UK, Jean-Charles combines scientific precision with artistic vision, crafting fragrances that not only evoke emotion but reflect a thoughtful, sustainable approach to scent creation.

Jean-Charles’ signature style is shaped by balance – between nature and lab, instinct and logic, emotion and structure. His compositions often explore contrast: the soft elegance of rose against the dry woodiness of vetiver, or the zing of fresh ginger set beside creamy musks. This dynamic sensibility gives his work a compelling tension, a nuanced beauty that is both modern and timeless.
