Mathilde Laurent trained in perfumery at the Institut Supérieur du Parfum des Cosmétiques et des Arômes in Versailles. After gaining ten years of experience in the fragrance industry, she joined Cartier on 14th February 2005.
Mathilde helped develop the concept of made-to-order perfume, creating a unique fragrance exclusively composed in the Salon des Parfums in the reopened Cartier boutique at 13 rue de la Paix.
Since then she has created all the great Cartier perfumes: Roadster, Cartier de Lune, Déclaration d'un Soir and Baiser Volé. She established Cartier's place in High Perfumery with Les Heures de Parfum, a collection of 13 fragrances that was recognised by elite perfumers at the 2010 FIFI awards of the Fragrance Foundation of France. La Treizième Heure won two prestigious awards: the Perfume Creator's Prize and the Specialist's Prize.
Mathilde Laurent holds an aesthetic vision for perfume. She creates short, simple formulas composed of relatively few ingredients to produce fragrances with a wonderful range of nuances.
An olfactory signature combining purity, excess and boldness revealing the ability to revisit forgotten notes and imagine original harmonies.
