Jean-Pierre Sand

Jean-Pierre Sand was born in August 1957 in Blieskastel on the Blies River. The Saarland belonged to France until 1957, which had a huge influence on the way of life there. The French way of life still shapes this region and spreads its special charm. He grew up with a sister in a sheltered family environment.

Jean Pierre spent a lot of time with his family on the Cote d'Azur and in Grasse, the birthplace of perfume, since childhood. Endless lavender fields, a sense of style, and the beautiful things in life have accompanied him throughout his life. He has always been fascinated by the endless lavender fields of Provence and the pleasant scents that surround this region.

After school, Jean Pierre's parents enabled him to do an internship in one of the most famous perfume museums in the world in Grasse, where he could learn the basics of perfumery. Perfumers learn about 2500 different scent materials during their careers, some of which develop into favorite scents and define the personal touch of the perfumer.

Jean Pierre works with a basic palette of about 900 scents with which he refines his compositions. It is very interesting that the average person can only smell a maximum of 7 scents in succession, while a truly good perfumer can easily handle 20 – 25. A perfume consists of top, heart, and base notes and can take on very different scent notes depending on the type and proportion of the basic components. The most important fragrance building blocks are flowers, fruits, spices, bark and resin, leaves, grasses, mosses, berries, roots, animal secretions, and so-called gourmand notes (chocolate, caramel, sugar, cotton candy, honey, sweet milk, almonds).

Since this treasure of experience, he has not strayed from the fragrance industry and has been developing and distributing exclusive perfumes worldwide for over 30 years. He draws his inspirations from the most beautiful spots on earth. Paris, Rome, or Tuscany are the sources of his creations. He gets his best ideas in Provence, where he loved to spend his time as a child. 

In his Parisian workplace, he gathers all ideas and impressions and creates there as a “fragrance designer” (as he calls himself) the noble flacons and perfumes. Specifically tailored to the target groups, he first develops a fragrance composition and then lets himself be guided to the flacon and the packaging. The name always comes last.

For as Jean Pierre says, a creation must first be given a soul before a fitting name can be bestowed upon the work of art. Over the course of his career, he has developed hundreds of fragrant treasures, and his further plans know no bounds. After a charity event in Versailles, he earned the nickname “Prince de Parfum,” which means “Prince of Scents.” A high honor in the fiercely competitive perfume industry. One of his favorite fragrances is Triumphal, this scent is an ode to his favorite country, France, and is a replica of the “Arc de Triumph” from Paris.

In his free time, Jean Pierre Sand loves to play sports and is an extreme connoisseur. Good food, good wine, and stylish ambiance reflect his joy of life and his life motto. Always dressed fashionably and in tune with the times, he will continue to bring joy with his creations for a long time.
