Heritage
Where reality & fantasy intertwine within perfume
Founded in Geneva, Switzerland, Créateur Olfactif is the universe of perfumer
and storyteller Mustafa Moneir and home to the tales he recounts through perfumes that blur the lines between reality and fantasy.
At the heart of the maison de parfum lie fine fragrance compositions and scented objects conceived by Moneir and echoing the craftsmanship and heritage of Geneva — where watchmaking and fragrance innovation converge.
Every Créateur Olfactif object is designed to eliminate the unnecessary while redefining the way individuals interact with perfume and scented objects.
With the fragrance stories, formulas and the packaging imagined and brought to life by the founder, Créateur Olfactif distinguishes itself by offering a rare purity of vision — a perfumer-led maison where no detail is left untouched by the founder’s creative hand (and nose).
Founder
Perfumer & storyteller with his head in the clouds
Mustafa Moneir is drawn to stories for their ability to distill complex matter into
its most fundamental essence, an approach that mirrors his philosophy in both, perfume formulation and object design.
Born in Cairo, Mustafa grew up between Berlin, Copenhagen, Sydney, and Vienna.
After studying perfumery in Paris and pursuing a career as a nose, he moved to Geneva,
the silicone valley of fragrance, the cradle of timekeeping and the birthplace of his maison de parfum, Créateur Olfactif.
As the maison's perfumer, creative director and storyteller, he designs and oversees every aspect of production, from formula to the packaging that houses it.
