The Man Who Hates Perfume - Christopher Brosius Interview
Jess Stein
Ask a random perfume maker, celebrity who has their name attached to a perfume brand or a designer who does the same why they created a perfume line or more specifically the name of their perfume line and you will get a myriad of descriptive answers for a simplistic name. With perfume make Christopher Brosius better known simply as CB why he created a line called I hate perfume, you may get a more straightforward answer. There’s no nuance to this creator of life scents. You won’t find heavy hints of floral scents, with jasmine, lilac and a million other safe scents mixed somewhere in the bouquet.
What you will find is a man dedicated towards creating a distinct line of perfume that tells men and women, it is ok to where a light scent that doesn’t overpower the senses. You also won’t have to smell like a rose garden to make a some sort of elitist statement. Simply wearing a natural scent works wonders and so my interview with Christopher Brosius focused not on the direction of his line, but where he does actually hate perfume and why his collection of scents are the absolute thing to have as of this writing.
