Ol­fac­to­ry jour­neys

A unique proposition.
An unforgettable experience –
Travelling the world to meet the finest raw materials of perfumery in their immediate natural context.

Guided by perfumers and industry experts, you’ll take part in a themed journey that will take you to the heart of the plantations and into contact with the growers to discover the secrets of making the rarest essences in perfumery.

From Indian tuberose to Madagascan ylang-ylang, from Omani olibanum to Indonesian patchouli, each of these olfactory journeys involves cultural immersion, age-old techniques and an escape from time.

At the culmination of your journey, you’ll be invited to create your own perfume, entirely natural, using the raw materials you’ve encountered together with a selection of ingredients brought by your private team of perfumers and experts who will guide you through these worldwide unique Perfume workshops.

This extraordinary offer is made possible by the commitment of Sensaba, Thierry Bernard (Parfumeurs du Monde) and Stéphane Piquart (Le Sourceur) to promoting the human values of perfumery, raising awareness of their cultural and ecological impact and passing on traditional knowledge.

Sensaba unveils a new logo – a symbol of new perfume adventures ahead. I’m so grateful for the trust and support from all my clients and partners. Thank you for making every creation possible.

Because a fragrance isn’t just a smell, it’s a story written on your skin... #sensaba #stephaniebakouche
D as in Duchaufour. D as in Disorder. D as in Dedication. D as in Destiny.

Last night, we celebrated the launch of L’Entropiste and the opening of its very first boutique—a true reflection of its creator, my dear friend and master perfumer, Bertrand Duchaufour.

This brand is more than just perfume; it is the apotheosis of his art, a world where scent, photography, painting, and African sculpture merge in perfect harmony. Every creation tells a story, every fragrance is a journey.

Congratulations, Bertrand, on bringing this vision to life. L’Entropiste is bold, beautiful, and unmistakably yours. #lentropiste #bertrandduchaufour #sensaba #transmission #passion #creation #artofperfumery #stephaniebakouche
A heartfelt thank you to all our clients and partners for their trust. I am truly grateful for the incredible launches we’ve celebrated and the exciting new projects ahead. But above all, I cherish the inspiring human connections made along the way. These moments of passion and creativity are what make this journey so special. Looking forward to what’s next! #sensaba #esxence #esxence2025 #stephaniebakouche #perfume #creation #passion
I’m so glad to share this new gourmandise with you! LOVE No Shame by @plumeimpression , sensual and mysterious fragrance, where luscious chocolate-covered cherries blend with whipped cream, sparkling champagne, and a deep enchanting rose. The base notes reveal a musky woody softness, enhanced by the bold personality of oud. Passion, intimacy, duality. LOVE (No Shame) 💙 designed with the clever creative complicity of young talent to watch @kelian_tardieu ;) #lovenoshame #plumeimpression #sensaba #stephaniebakouche #luxuryperfume @jovoyparis @esxence2025 #creation #passion #parfum
Merci l’@osmothequeparf pour cette grande et belle soirée entourée de nos bienfaiteurs, adhérents, bénévoles, amis, soutiens, mécènes, amis parfumeurs. Ce conservatoire est si précieux et absolument unique, faisons le vivre! Quel plaisir permanent de sentir tant de merveilles qui ont forgé notre Art à travers les siècles! #osmotheque #patrimoine #emotions #parfum #passion #stephaniebakouche #sensaba
This bottle contains the meetup of dozens of final tiny “coupages” made to fine tune my last creation. What do I love about it? 100% unreproducible!! 😂#art #sensaba #creation #passion #stephaniebakouche
Perfumer’s frustration 🤯 4 hours work for one of my most complex formula ever. As everything happens for a reason, now I’m wondering if the universe is sending me a message: something I should modify before sending to client? Or just an accident? 🤔 what do you think? #perseverance #sensaba
Sublime séance d’évaluation matières premières à l’ @osmothequeparf. De pépites en curiosités, une collection de trésors parfois disparus, pour permettre des repesées uniques au monde, strictement identiques aux formules d’exception de notre si riche patrimoine. #osmotheque #patrimoinemondial #sensaba
NEW! HISTOIRE D’AMOUR 2.0 is much more than a perfume; it is an ode to the love story between its creators, Julien and Madalina, who are celebrating 20 years of deep companionship. It was a great honor for me to interpret this fragrance, as it embodies far more than just a scent: it tells the story of their journey through time, challenges, and joys.

The rich and captivating oud wood blends with a surprising mango accord, both fresh and bold. As the fragrance evolves, more surprises unfold, with softer, gourmand notes that wrap the skin in delicate and refined tenderness.

Thank you, @juletmad_paris for trusting me to create this important chapter of your Love Story. Thank you, @kelian_tardieu for your creative partnership on this beautiful project! And thank you @artdecomposerleparfum for supplying us with the most premium raw materials that allow us to create the most exquisite fragrances!

To be discovered exclusively at @obsentum and then at all of the brand’s retail locations. #artisticfragrance #newfragrance #highluxuryperfume #stephaniebakouche #juletmadparis #passion #creation #love #sensaba

Mes coups de 💙 du #simppar2024 :) Un Schinus molle Velouté de @ernesto_ventos, coextraction de cette baie avec un mimosa Coeur DM qui se révèle alors moderne, pétillant, lumineux…
@mane_1871_ toujours présent avec ses merveilles de Jungle essences tel le Timur pepper du Nepal, sa réinvention de l’enfleurage dans de l’huile végétale ensuite extraite au CO2, et autres molécules naturelles biosynthétisées et éco responsables.
Merci @floralconceptnaturals pour des naturels toujours plus exquis et révélés à leur plus haute valeur; merci pour cette baie de genièvre rectifiée qui rend cette rebelle plus soluble dans l’alcool! :-)
Et @payanbertrand_grasse avec le grand Fred Badie aux commandes des trouvailles les plus extraordinaires, des cœurs de vetyver les plus exquis à des fractions animales d’osmanthus à la se(x)nsualité renversante..!
Merci @villegrasse et à la @societefrancaisedesparfumeurs d’avoir si bien accueilli et géré cette première édition du @simp.par sous votre soleil, et merci à vous tous producteurs de pousser toujours plus loin les limites de la créativité, pour mieux stimuler la nôtre! #grasse #stephaniebakouche #sensaba #simppar2024 #producteurs #artisan #passion
