Maurice Roucel – 50-Year Journey in Perfumery
[June-30-2025]On June 19th, the Maison de l’Amérique Latine was filled with jasmine, musk and a whole lot of love.
Friends, fellow perfumers, editors, and industry legends gathered in Paris to celebrate the one and only Maurice Roucel, marking 50 years of audacity, elegance, and unapologetic sensuality in perfumery.
Thank you for your loyalty, and for the unique mark you’ve left on our craft, on our hearts, and on the future of perfumery. Thank you for keeping your legacy alive with Isaac Sinclair and Suzy Le Helley.
From his beginnings as a chemist in Chanel’s labs to the creation of iconic fragrances like Musc Ravageur for Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle, Maurice has never followed trends. He’s set them.
His signature? Bold structures, minimalist formulas, and a radical freedom that smells like no one else.
To crown this milestone, Maurice was named Master Ambassador of Symrise Fine Fragrance — a title that celebrates not only his past, but the inspiration he continues to spark across generations.
The evening felt exactly like one of his perfumes: rich, warm, full of character, with just the right touch of extravagance.
Merci, Maurice.
For 50 years of beauty, guts, and olfactive pleasure.
Here’s to the next chapter.
