Ourstory

From song
to perfume

A legendary song

Like a Virgin, Sexual Healing, The Girl From Ipanema, etc... Legendary songs became such because they carry a story and a delivery that is relatable and moving to mankind. They've become timeless and we've all developed a personal relationship with them.

Tanguy Le Baud, Founder

Art Meets Art was born from a simple wish: to create the beauty House I would have loved to shop at and work for.

Raised in Paris on a houseboat with views of the Eiffel Tower and the Pont Alexandre III, I strive to celebrate the beauty and lifestyle of the City of Light.

Singing, playing the guitar, and listening to all kinds of grooves, I’ve found that few things move us like music. Yet, scent is an equally profound unifier. Starting my scent journey with cooking (taught by my grandmother) and then oenology, I later joined Lancôme and Kiehl’s to continue exploring the senses. Ultimately, I realized that scent and sound share a unique, invisible power: they are our most intuitive languages for energy, emotion, and memory.

With Art Meets Art, our ambition is to bring a playful, uninhibited edge to luxury perfume, honoring the French tradition of Art, Beauty, and Taste.

Designed with passion in Paris. Made in France.

Portrait of Alberto Morillas

Alberto Morillas

The Mediterranean sun nature lives at the heart of Alberto Morillas’s art. Born in Seville and essentially self-taught, he joined Firmenich in 1970, rising to become one of the most influential Master Perfumers of modern times.

Revered for his radiant freshness, luminous musks, and habit of penning every formula by hand in ink, Alberto has defined generations of iconic scents. In 2013, he became the first perfumer honored with the Fragrance Foundation’s Lifetime Achievement Award.

Notable Creations: Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò, Calvin Klein CK One, and Marc Jacobs Daisy.

“I’m a longtime fan of Madonna’s work and the way she constantly reinvents herself. For “Like a Virgin”, I tried to capture the essence of who she was at this point in her life and the energy surrounding the song and era.”
 Portrait of Fabrice Pellegrin

Fabrice Pellegrin

The heritage of Grasse runs deep in Fabrice Pellegrin. Born into an olfactory dynasty spanning four generations—from his jasmine-picker grandmother to his newly graduated perfumer son—Fabrice is dedicated to passing down this timeless savoir-faire.

Dividing his time between Paris and Grasse, he balances fine fragrance creation with steering natural ingredient development at dsm-firmenich. His artistry partly draws inspiration from a formative youth in Brazil, where Bossa Nova and local warmth left an indelible mark, making music an essential ritual in his daily creative process.

Notable Creations: Diptyque Do Son, L’Eau Papier, Eau Duelle.

“One of my main sources of inspiration for creating fragrances is music: from its soft melodies that evoke an oriental perfume, to electronic music that I associate with aromatic, vibrant notes.”

Frank Voelkl

German-born and classically trained at ISIPCA in Versailles, Frank Voelkl is a Master Perfumer at dsm-firmenich. Based in New York, he blends Old World rigor with a contemporary sensibility.

Notable Creations: Le Labo Santal 33, Thé Noir 29.

“Fragrance and music have a lot in common. We talk about fragrance notes and fragrance accords. You can talk about a theme or a melody within a fragrance.”
 Portrait of Christophe Raynaud

Christophe Raynaud

Trained at ISIPCA under the tutelage of Michel Almairac, Christophe Raynaud is a VP Perfumer at Givaudan renowned for creating bold, unforgettable olfactory footprints.

Describing himself as "first an architect, then a craftsman," he is renowned for building scents with bold sillage, rich woody structures, and addictive warmth. Having co-created global cultural phenomena alongside sophisticated niche compositions, he remains one of contemporary perfumery’s most dynamic hitmakers.

Notable Creations: Rabanne 1 Million, Yves Saint Laurent MYSLF, Lancôme La Nuit Trésor.

“My approach to fragrances is that it should make people want to hug and kiss.”
