It all started with the idea of winning a TV contest by identifying fragrances while blindfolded. The wager was lost, but a talent was discovered – Mark Buxton received and accepted an offer from the Haarmann & Reimer perfume company to be trained as a perfumer.
A few years later, he had already reached Paris, world capital of perfume. He has lived and worked there to this day, an exceptional phenomenon. Every nose can distinguish between around 10,000 fragrances, but only a handful of people like Mark Buxton can also name several thousand of them. The only way to train the art of smelling, he contends, is to discuss it.
His style is notable for the ultimate in precision coupled with maximum dedication. His fragrances are mystical, provocative and unmistakably urbane. A perfumer will never be a star, he asserts, yet proves the contrary with his creations.
For Thorsten Biehl, Mark Buxton has created three perfumes in the biehl. parfumkunstwerke gallery:
mb01 : cool, erotic.
mb02 : relaxed, sophisticated
mb03 : profound
