• David Kopp, creative director of élixir privé, draws his inspiration from his multicultural heritage, personal experiences, and above all, his own interpretation of the world of fragrance ~ a “transparent” perfumery that serves as a vehicle for deep emotions, a sensorial language that connects people to one another.

  • His eclectic background, spanning fashion journalism, strategic marketing, and even the medical field ~ he shapes his belief that our sense of smell is a primary lens through which we perceive the world, one he explores through our shared collective memory ~ Driven by a desire to communicate and give form to visual olfactory universes, David Kopp embraces a creative culture where humanity, nature, and sensory experience form the neural roots of each of his creations.

  • "In a world saturated with essences and images ~ I quickly understood the importance of offering an exceptional experience ~ Affect being the nerve center of our daily lives; I therefore wanted to (re)discover myself through rare materials, to establish new relationships and quite simply to enrich my creative environment by developing exclusive’s scents ~ Beyond a specific message to each person; what matters to me with perfume is the connexion it establishes with the person who wears it... the appropriation... regardless its unique signature ~ I like the idea that a scent is a singular emotion frozen in time.. ~ Besides, mine started with the silence of absence where I was forbidden to be and to exist ~ Today, this nemesis is translating into a need to live and share this love of the world with the help of my creations ~ and, Barbès Mandarine, was the beginning of this one."
