Jean-Max Estéban loved to tell the story of how the company that bears his name began with love at first sight: that of an aviation enthusiast and explorer at heart with a young artist who loved perfumes.
To win her over, he designed delicately decorated totems that he perfumed to the core with precious notes. His wish: to share his emotions with her and show her the infinite poetry of the world seen from above.
After a trip to Africa, they created Teck & Tonka: a woody-spicy collection infused with African art, evoking memories of red dirt roads and wooden houses infused with spices.
The rest of his story is marked by a series of encounters and friendships. Friend and stylist Primrose Bordier, the queen of color, quickly embellished the initial collections and convinced them to expand their creations.
Collection after collection, accessory after accessory, the company reinvented the art of perfumery and continued to spread its wings. Her scented accessories infused with poetry continued to captivate the eyes as much as the senses.
For more than 35 years, they have been given and received with emotion, telling a story and creating connections.
Estéban continually creates irresistible perfumes that are friends, accomplices and to which we become attached because they beautify our lives and our home.
