Mark Buxton

Nationality: British

Mark Buxton is a British perfumer whose career links commercial fragrance houses to independent perfumery. He became particularly known for creating the first perfume for Comme des Garçons in 1994, a composition that accompanied the brand’s entry into a singular olfactory territory. His work for Comme des Garçons and for his own brand, Mark Buxton Perfumes, favors a freedom of construction removed from overly rigid categories. Spices, woods and more abstract materials allow him to compose atmospheres rather than simple portraits of ingredients.
