My eyes keep getting drawn to the ties. I find it interesting that everyone seems to know what Richard Herpin looks like. Thierry Wasser’s picture is on boisdejasmin.typepad.com but I couldn’t find any pictures of Mr. Herpin. These picture quizzes are fun but I never have a clue! Look forward to more.

Hmmm… the ties… that’s a good point.
IFF perfumers can make statements with their hair (red mohican won’t be a problem at IFF) or anything, but Firmenich perfumers need to dress in suits and ties. Quite a difference, huh? But I don’t know if this has anything to do with the fierce competition between the two houses. -

Kuri, what an interesting observation! I have never met Richard Herpin, and I have never seen his photos, however I do know what Harry Fremont and Olivier Polge look like. So, I operated by the method of deduction. As for Thierry Wasser, there is no excuse for me confusing him with Francis Kurkdjian. 🙂

Ooh, didn’t even think about the different companies. Quite a difference! Wonder if they allow football at Firmenich?
Victoria, I don’t know what Harry Fremont looks like either, so it was all a toss up for me! Hrm… I may have been very confused about where I found Wasser’s photo; I did find it just now at s-perfume.com ; I’m sorry about that! I have so few sources that it’s sad that I’m mixing them up. Now I wonder what Francis Kurkdjian looks like 😀 -

Kuri-san, I don’t have a good picture of Harry to show, but here’s Francis Kurkdjian.

I’m kind of happy that Takasago (they have been strong in toiletries) has finally gotten a hot shot perfumer in fine fragrances but wonder how long he would stay with them. It’s not easy to work with Japanese, and probably you know that, right? -

Thanks for the picture!
I hope he will like Takasago. A lot seems to be determined by the company culture. I think I like the fact that a lot of communication seems to be non-verbal, because I’m bad at verbal communication. But it all depends on the people you work with; everyone’s different.
I wonder what language they work in.
